modify CB radio to add PA?
« on: Dec 03, 2012, 08:35:01 PM »
I Recently sold a truck and it had my pa system in it, and i was going to put one in another truck, but it seems the only CB radio I have left does not have a PA system in it, but I would like one... I had a nice Cobra, and now Im left with the $50 Radio Shack CB from a few years ago. Very simple, not very nice, no PA.

Is there a way to wire through this radio, or independently, a PA system? I don't want to buy a new CB if I don't have to.

Any thoughts on independently built pa systems?

Not any way that I know of, even a talk-back system would cost you money and that's just so you can hear what you are transmitting. Not worth it over picking up a CB with the PA switch.

You will have to get another radio, one that has that feature.

Best deal I found on the internet.  Regularly $40.

There are some smoking good deals on CL in the Seattle area.
