Hi everyone,

I know this is an old post but did any one have any success with the Wagner 309, I'm just about to look at two of them as well as a Super Jaguar and Ferris SSB8000.

[Ashtec]

No i didn't find much in the way of setting up info on them i had to set them up as trial or error but once set up they do work well there a nice cheap radio for AM/SSB

Hi Ashtec,
Similar this way as well. I changed most of the electrolytics and some burnt resistors and started to tune. Still have a few more to finish.

Glad to hear............
I used to use one a lot with Big Pimp on Am Mid Band a nice little compact radio and received well for what it was i wouldn't say no to another one if offered one again.

i've got the 510 homebase great receive on AM..

[Ashtec]

For saying they have a bad rep i don't think they was all that bad as for the 510 i've never owned one.
I always like to get my hands on a Wagner SSB home base but i could never get my hands on one sadly.

[bigpimp347]

well i did
and to be honest the RX is great on it..
very Cybernet feel to it with the sound and signal quality.

He moved to Bulgaria some years ago for a while, then came back to UK and the last I heard was that he's living in an old gypsy caravan and is roaming the countryside. That's a few years back now and I don't think anyone has heard 'owt since. Be nice to have an update though.

Cheers Mitch.. I had heard he was back but thats the last i knew... Shame as he was good with the cb radios naturally gifted.. Will have to ask Ugly Bob see if he knows...

UB drifted away from the hobby due to personal circumstances IIRC. Great lad, big miss to the forum.

I contacted him some time ago when I bought a Alan 88 and he said he had other things to do
