What CB/11m Radio Stuff did you buy today? (2017)

[Buick Mackane]

Yep, and if it gets to your level Drew. I will need a bigger house, lol

In my defence, I, err, well.. I have none.

Be strong drew, Your doing well, Your thinning out the collection of dusty relics, Dont buy anymore

[mrpsychopath]

That probably wont happen. He is probably making space for more

Shack and radio collection can be best described as being in a constant state of flux!

[quote="The Collector"]..and with that cash plus more from other bits sold, I treated myself to this:

I can pull my Cobra from ebay now as I don't really need the cash from it having bought this already.[/quoN

Nice with the handles too
I had this 80ch version last week

Had wanted a big copper/bronze homebase since seeing one in 1982 in a shop in Kingstanding, Birmingham. I think the one I saw was probably a Marko Excalibur, but it made my Fidelity homebase look boring in comparison.

This Petrusse 2002 version has 5 blocks on a PIC thingy, plus this has got the UK40, all fitted by the great man himself, Nick. I'm just making a shelf for it to sit on in the loftshack.

Coincidently, my first car, a Mk1 Escort was pretty much the same colour - "copper bronze metallic" and my copper-coloured Nato2000 was done in homage to these radios

[Mudslinger]

I have a few radios on the way at the moment.
A job lot containing a Dirland 3900 (very early version) Superstar 3000, President JFK and Continental 6190 (whatever that is)

Also I have just bought a boxed 148GTL, which looks in really good condition.

Not bad for £60, it has the original mic, box, manual power cable etc.

Just picked this very tidy original 360 (no FM).

[Mudslinger]

My GTL arrived today, just tried it on air and it works very well. It was sold as untested, so I am very happy.

mk1 and mk2 148 GTL-DX . Both found in Spain , which is a major miracle .

I've often seen a lovely pair whilst in Spain, but that pair are even more pleasing to the eye

[cb4ever104]

Yeah . They're not common here in Spain . 360FMs are . I found a mk1 148 GTL-DX a few years back here , but it had a UK eprom fitted , so it obviously started off in the UK . I've no idea about these 2 . The guy in Madrid who sold me them wasn't a Spanish national , so I'll need to take a look at them and see .

[astradyne]

My Superstar 360 (No FM) I bought off eBay arrived today. It turns out the seller is a well respected member of this group, so it's one of those rare occasions that I didn't have to worry about a pile of crap turning up.

Working perfectly and in beautiful condition. Very happy indeed.

Cheers Drew!

My Superstar 360

Real quality made radio . Up there with the 148 GTL . I have 2 . One of them I modified myself to get the standard LO/MID and HI bands . The other one I have has a couple of binary adders to give it 5 bands .

This one has mid, high and the vox part of the 10 metre band. Beautiful RX quality and great TX audio from the reports I've had.

It's the first time I've used/owned one of these and so far I'm mightily impressed.

The quiet receiver was the stand out for me. Quietest of all my 148/360 variants.
