Hello, My latest project is to build some German field radios for our unit to use during larger tacticals. These will be working radios so the insides will be mobile handheld CB's. We will be using Cobra 38 WX ST radios inside the radio boxes. The project is based on this model field radio: So far I have built the main section of the boxes. I have also added the spines on the front and back. Next is to add the side doors and then the outside hardware. We plan on using the internal electronics from a Cobra handheld mic and put them in these: Wish me luck! Regards, Chris

I have tried CBs at a few events and they don't seem to work very well I think I need to try FRS radios. I now have a mold to make my own replica handsets as well. Work continues. .... Regards Chris

Beautiful!!!
What was the problem with CBs? How would using FRS work better, in your opinion?

For some reason they just did not transmit and receive well. They needed constant squelch adjustment.
I have Cobra 35HHW radios so I figured they were a quality model.
Not sure what to do to make them work better. Im not a CB expert.
Regards Chris

Hmm. Interesting. Did you talk to your local CB club or online radio buffs?
