Just won a Midland Port-a-Pak rubber duck aerial off ebay. It was being sold unassumingly attached to a little Midland emergency radio magmount, so got it for only £5.69!

It'll go nicely with my Port-a-Pak that I'll be selling...once I can try and repair/replace the usual broken aerial clip.

Forgot to post the radio I got from Pinksnake a couple of weeks back. One of the Lafayette 1005's which were recently discovered in Romania. This particular radio is one of those Black Spirit was selling and was bought by Pinksnake. He wanted a change, something a bit different. So we did an exchange. He sent me the Lafayette down to me and I sent a DNT Calypso up to him (for those who are wondering what a DNT Calypso is follow the link below). Both of us are happy and the whole thing took but five days from him posting his radio to receiving the DNT. Perfect!
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!

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

Picked up one of these a few weeks back. It's had the Nick treatment and works very well indeed. One is enough for me though :lol:

The SS3900 sticker will be coming off. These versions have been commented on before on the forum. I'll post some photos once it's been given a good clean.

ARF 2001. Finest piece of consumer electronics to ever come out of Raton, NM, USA. Also, I believe, the only one.

ARF Youtube video for anyone interested:

Looks nice, but not as nice as a Fidelity 1000 though in my humble opinion ;)
