Uniden Bearcat PC68XL 40-Channel CB Radio Review

Uniden Bearcat PC68XL 40-Channel CB Radio

This unit looks and works great. Installation was easy and the performance has been great. Has all the adjustments that I was looking for plus the weather channels. I didn't really want the weather channels at the time of purchase, but I'm glad I have them now.
The cosmetics are great -- chrome dials, silver face, green back-lighting, analog signal meter.
The unit is not a compact unit, but I was able to fit it under the radio in my '96 Ford Ranger without too much trouble. The 9' microphone cord seemed really long to me when I saw that on the spec sheet, but it is actually about perfect.
There are a couple of downsides: The Dynamic Squelch Control is completely useless. As far as I can tell, it just automatically sets the squelch to a higher-than-appropriate level. With DSC on, you miss all low-powered transmissions and some high-powered ones. DSC works great if you're only interested in a ~300' radius. I never turn mine on.
The other downside is that it's nearly impossible to determine the knob positions by sight. That is, you can't easily look down and see that the volume is at 1/2 and squelch is at 1/8, etc.
Neither of these downsides are that big of a deal, though.
BTW, I use the RF Gain control much more than squelch to fine tune my reception. Don't buy a CB radio without RF Gain.

Classically styled but equipped with all the modern features, the Uniden Bearcat PC68XL CB radio is a must for truckers, boaters, and other CB enthusiasts. The radio is housed in a stylish silver chassis with chrome control knobs--an enduring look that's sure to satisfy longtime CB fans. More importantly, the radio operates on any of the 40 AM frequencies, giving users plenty of communication options. It even offers instant access to channel 9 should an emergency arise.
Perhaps the PC68XL's most satisfying feature, however, is Uniden's dynamic squelch control, which delivers a clear signal with less noise so that all your channels sound crisp and legible. The squelch control even reduces noise when the CB user on the other end doesn't have it, an advantage that few other squelch enhancers enjoy. The front-positioned microphone, meanwhile, is easy to access and versatile thanks to its extra-long coiled cord.
Additional features include an adjustable LED channel display and transmit/receive indicators for monitoring activity at a glance; adjustable RF and mic gain controls; a PA/CB switch; and an analog S/RF meter. The unit, which measures 6.29 by 2.16 by 8.54 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 3 pounds, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Hardline Products 965 Sticker-Off Decal Adhesive Remover - 2 oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product description says "no more razoring" to remove stickers. The instructions on the bottle say to peel the stickers off first then Sticker off to clean up the residue. Very misleading...this stuff is basically worthless. I didn't buy it to clean up the residue after I do the old fashioned peel and scrape to get the sticker off...waste of money.

Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Red Review

Crosley CR711 Autorama Turntable with AM/FM Radio, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Turntable on this unit is very cheap and is made of very lightweight plastic. This causes the turntable to be weighed down when you place a record on it, which in turn causes the record to rub against the edges of the unit... resulting in a warped sound output. If you want to spend 150.00 on a old fashion looking radio, go right ahead. But if you want to spin LP records without them sounding warped, don't waste your time and money. Looks cool, sounds and performs lousy.

Crosley Radio founder Powel Crosley was the first U.S. manufacturer to build a production model sports car several decades back, and now the company pays tribute to its founder's grand ambitions with the CR711 Autorama turntable. Housed in a streamlined red chassis that looks like the front grill of a classic '50s roadster, the turntable is designed for vintage car fans, retro freaks, and anyone else who wants an alternative to the soulless, high-tech look. The Autorama is no slouch from a playback perspective, either, with a belt-drive motor that plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records, giving you access to both full-length LPs and classic singles collections. The device even comes with an analog AM/FM radio that picks up your favorite music and news stations, complemented by a striking illuminated center dial. And thanks to the external FM antenna, you'll receive consistently good reception everywhere in the house.
Best of all, the Autorama is a completely self-contained unit, with a pair of built-in, full-range stereo speakers. The speakers make this a good bedroom, office, or basement "playroom" system, as you don't need anything more than an electrical outlet to enjoy your LPs. As an alternative, you can also connect the turntable to a stereo receiver through the auxiliary output. The CR711 Autorama measures 13.5 by 6.75 by 14 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
What's in the Box Turntable, 45 spindle adapter, diamond-stylus needle, user's manual.

AMP 8GB Pico USB Flash Drive - Pico C style Review

AMP 8GB Pico USB Flash Drive - Pico C style
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned quite a few flash drives or Magic Memory Sticks in my day, from Sandisk and Lexar down to Kingston, and so far this tiny 8GB "AMP" drive impressed me.
Pros:
a LOT of memory for very cheap
Chrome casing protects it from accidentally snapping in half;
very small, and still quite inexpensive-
you can put it on a key chain and if for some strange reason it does get ruined, it won't destroy your wallet
Cons:
Does get quite hot if used for an extended amount of time; which can be expected because of how compact it is; there isn't much breathing room- I have left mine plugged in for 2 days however, and it did not fry/overhead
Also, just a heads up- the packaging that this thing comes in is far from impressive; it comes in a small plastic bag and cheap little box. I was skeptical at first, but this must be partly how they are able to sell it for so cheap.
Overall
So far, So good; I am pleased with the price and size (both physical and digital)and would recommend this little guy to anyone that asksIgnore the technical details mentioned; it is a 8GB, NOT 4GB Flash Drive... or at least the one I received was
