New tech inside, but trying to appeal to the retro CBer from back in the day. If you went with a radical re-design people would crap their trucker pants about it! lol

Re: The future of CB Radio
I wondered if anyone would pick up on that.
A while ago I got into the idea of base twelve or dozenal. I drew that on a rainy day when I couldn't get out grass cutting. The whole dozenal thing is interesting, but ultimately a rabbit hole to fall down and lose loads of time.

Re: The future of CB Radio
I dib in and out of this topic as I've been thinking for a while that as I sell marine, ham, business, aviation and PMR446 radios I should try selling CB, so I've been doing the rounds of my usual suppliers and I can't do it. There's no suppliers who will sell to me at the sort of price that would enable me to compete with existing dealers and Ebay.
The prices people are selling for are roughly what the quotes have been so far. For me, it means 20% VAT being added too, so if I sold on ebay for the same price as the people there, I would lose at least £40? And the prices are plain silly too.
I've scrapped the idea. I have no idea how they make money. Some are clearly actually based abroad, and they say shipping from UK warehouses, but that's a common trick to make people think they're UK based when they are not.
What I don't get is how they get away with the high prices?
