The Fidelity CB 1000 really is crap !

[The Collector]

I took Nick a Fidelity Homebase to have a look at last year. When I went to pick some radios up off him that he'd sorted for me a few dsys later, he was using the Fidelity to stop his car from rolling down his steep drive. Bloody cheek!

AHH that would explain the tyre mark's on my Grant then. Your fidelity served a second purpose my Grant didn't

I was watching a guy messing about with a fidelity 1000 in his car on youtube. He was receiving morse through approx 8 channels. Probably being broadcast on 7 mhz And the bassy RX audio would drive me mental

I was given a lake manxman year's ago but didn't have the free ask trays or the plastic panel or control knobs and it didn't have a speaker either.

Late at night about 2 or 3 in the morning I used to power it up and use it till day break and then it would become totally useless till the next night
