In 1963 the Dynascan Corporation who were a Television Service company developed the first CB radio The Sidewinder which was shortly followed by the Cobra . In 1993 the Dynascan Corporation officially changed name to Cobra Electronics Corporation .

Well actually its was set up by Kal Korn in his garage and was called B&K Electronics firsly making equipment for testing TV components (like valve testers), then as Dragonfly said became Dynascan Corp.Dragonfly wrote:In 1963 the Dynascan Corporation who were a Television Service company developed the first CB radio The Sidewinder which was shortly followed by the Cobra .

I own a boxed Cobra Cam 88 tube radio built in 1965, now that's nice .
In the early days the CB's where made in the States (like all of E.F Johnson's) but later used Uniden and before them I think somebody like Panasonic in Japan made a few in the early 70's.

I don't agree with all of what is written on the top one. For instance "there are two versions of the PB-010, the AA and AB". Have thery forgotten about the President Richard with the AC variant?14CS06 wrote: ↑05 May 2020, 09:41 Hello

Also the Mk2 came out in 1983 according to that...
Some of the mods look dodgy as well.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.
