the radio i have always wanted and may never own is a COURIER GLADIATOR  i thank that would be the best radio ever, but for now i am using a GE SSB its not a A or B its the one that built after the B with its upside down meter, i like the navaho base radios they sound great. hornet is the same as a bangal MK1 just dif color and rebaged as most 02A radios were back then.

 I loved my UNIDEN GRANT (PLL8719) 10KC slide and extra channels in it's day ,then upgraded to my trusty
 UNIDEN HR-2510 10mtr/11mtr rig with even more power/more channels? ? ?:o ?. . . then still to this day after many years i still have my "immaculate" RANGER RCI-2950 26MHz to 32MHz AM-FM-USB-LSB-CW that i still occaisionly use from time to time.

Best CB Owned = Uniden AX-144
Dream CB = Uniden AX-144

i wouldnt trade the old girl for anything (except one of those massive yasue rigs)

i have most of the uniden HF/UHF range radios and the oldies out smack the new ones anyday

and the PC-122 was a puncey radio but still hell reliable for general communications, but like most radio operators u right to say MORE POWER!!!!!! lol
