To celebrate the fact that I finally got a job (that I wanted ) after 8 months being unemployed , I thought I'd treat myself
Saying that I'll be punting them anyway as I've racked up a few debts over the last few months

I had 2 rare, old new stock Stalker ST9F-DX brackets from him. Just had to buy the thick rubber washers for them.
They're not really rare - they're identical to Cobra 29 brackets. I bought a load not long back.

Yeah, I have some of those £6 Chinese black Cobra brackets spare myself and they are identical, but I just wanted the real deal gold ones

I bought the gold ones, not Chinese black ones. That's why I said identical.

Nice radio Dave . I replaced the channel selector in mine as it was a bit dodgy and then Sue made me some code to make it work with the selector and expanded it to 120ch .

Nice I will get the lids off mine and we can see what is good in it.
All the controls are tight but smooth to turn so I think it has been looked after a bit. I've the 448 as well and while I am at it I may as well compare it with it too

A nice and clean Colonel FR360, a Cybernet Beta 3000 & a MkIi Cobra 148GTL-DX. Cobra courtesy of The Collector. Cheers Dave
The Colonel is getting the Maurer touch, adding FM and a new frequency counter/ band conversion.
I was 51 a few days ago (huzzah!) and one of my lovely gifts was a brand new Thunderpole T-800 for the Jimny.
Not had the chance to play much just yet, but, my goodness, it's good!
Far better reception than the handheld (see signature) which until now had been my only 11m set. And the audio - crystal, crystal clear.
I'm picking up far more local activity with no other changes to setup - TP medium or large springers on a 7" magmount - this radio really is going to be the business.
I know I could have spent more and gone with something that had SSB too, but, honestly, I'm more than happy with the UK FM 40 and EU AM 40.
