The last model for sale was the CD version (colour display) and that was several years back. Now long discontinued.

Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!

Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

Yes discontinued.

There weren't a bad radio, l owned a couple of them back in the early noughties, one of l bought brand new from Truck King.

I think the CD version used a plug in chip or something to give the expanded frequencies?

Actually l'm not sure they have been discontinued, after doing a bit of Googling there's a 2950 DX6 that keeps popping up which are available to buy from the states. There's info about on Simon The Wizard's website.

Found two videos on YT of the DX6, a recent updated version of it comes with a white display instead of the blue.

The video of the white display one is by Truck CB Sales, they have a lot of ranger models on their website.
