I gave my lad one to put in his car after a day he gave me it back and asked me for his midland 48 back and told me to put the 341 in the bin...
And he dont know much about cb radio at all but he told me that it was crap to the midland ...............
But that's us....
There's a lot of cber's out there that stand by them but i dont.......
every uk fm straught 40 i seem to get i always hate apart from one i had the midland 77-095 i liked that and my mate still has it in his jeep and loves it
Danita and Kestrel cheap plastic none recieving pieces of cackie.
The Danita knobs had green markings ,which looked like they had been painted with a
water pistol.
Chill Winston, Life Is'nt supposed to be serious.pull up a radio & spark up a doobie!
Does anyone remember the Lancaster? Nice looking set, a bit like a modernised Stalker ST9 F-DX. Not nice at all
Murphy homebase, always with that annoying buzz. Atrocious
Sonic, need I say more. Well OK then, absolute crap

One big slightly variable channel, I could hear people calling on the 19 on channel 31,
except they had bigger signal readings on 31 than they did on the 19 !!!
Jaws MK2 AM set, it got bleedover from the gnats farting in the garden...
Fidelity CB1000, don't get me started.

Well, in '79 I lived in a place that had 12 breakers within 200 yards and about 100 within a mile or so.
The Cobra 19GTL stood up to it pretty well, my mates Commtron was not so good, but the Jaws went completely dead on ch1 if somebody keyed up on ch40.
Hopeless.
Just loved the fairy lights and the size, but for the BEST fairy lights radio you couldn't beat a Viking Johnson,
lovely.

Because the people who buy them are STOOPID. Shill bids aplenty and gullible fools equals silly money. There was a time when you could rely on eBay to find a bargain, now it's just full of greedy idiots. They either begin with a stupid reserve or bids begin at begin at price, or the seller shill bids to high hell. It's a disgrace.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!
Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...
the best of uk fm rigs can only as good as the last person that was inside it with the screwdriver or nail file turning the pots to make them better (opps to see what that one does) but then you can get a really bad rig give it to some one that knows what they are doing and they make it great so lets say there is good and bad in every rig out there i always end up with the bad ones and then have to try to get them sorted out
A lot of what ScottishTommy says is right... but there are a few radios which even the greatest rig doctor cannot cure. My pet hate is the Fidelity 1000 - but there are others that I really loath, not because they're bad, just crappy - The Maycom EM27 is one. Fundamentally it's okay... it just sounds screetchy and is prone to so many glitches! Getting over the leaky battery syndrome of the earlier model, there's the self-keying malarky in cold weather, and the unreadable LCD in bright light. Yuk... I 'ate em with a vengeance !
yes that is very true bob and we all have some radios we love and hate now im just looking for a nice radio that i can put where my ranger is as wanting to have a uk 40 at hand for every day use
