Please some one help me out....
(i know which way i came in thanks..)

if i was selling (lets just say) a HF rig, 80 to 10mtrs inc CB..
100w general coverage receive,
frequency display, FM lots of knobs and buttons..

and only asking £150 to £175 for it fully working on air tested..

why the hell does a CBer still by twin band CB's for anything over £150..!!
yup 0 to mhz 100w REAL radio..
or a 26 to 30mhz CB for £200 SECOND HAND...

Buggered if i know...

i'd understand if the excuse was 'i can't read frequencies' but a lot of
these newer CB's have frequency and channels, but the channels are out too..
like 19 reading 33..!!!

no wonder amateur radio's are getting cheap with so much choice, no one can
sell them.....the scabby arse CBers woudl sooner buy CB's with glow in the
dark knobs and pictures of snakes on the front..!!

This is nothing to do with "CBer mentality", all sorts of people will buy
things they think are a "bargain" secondhand - look at some of the tat that
gets sold on Ebay or in your local second hand shop.

Don't let it bother you.

Good, and may the price drop even more.

You mean no one is holding a gun to the buyers head? :-)
Wonder why not.

Perhaps the operator doesn't care about the hf bands and why not if they
aren't licensed to use them and single band radios are usually best anyway
- it is if you choose well.

> rant over..!!! lol..

You need to get a wider perspective young man.

And you're a HAM?

Perhaps it's to do with complying with the law. The rig you described
is way illegal for CB.

And Lincolns and Magnums are legal are they?

hugh.g.rekshun

in the eys of the law neither is legall..
the HF set illegal to use if modded for CB use, unless you hold a valid
licence for other band, shipping etc..
and the 11/10mtrs rigs illegal if modded full stop, legal if only 10mtrs..
so who wants to spend £150 £200 on a 10mtr rig when i can sell a HF rig for
the same ammount..

the CBers mind boggles...

Look, if you're having bother selling it, I have a few 10/11m sets
propping up the desk here.
I'll do you a swap, and then you can flog that on if it'll be a bit
easier for you?

First question is, what radio are you selling? My second question is why
are you trying to understand CBers? It's just like trying to understand why
most amateurs don't like soap and deodorant

Andy

hugh.g.rekshun

tooooo rue..
flogging a spare HF set..
FT-77 it's on spunksale and CWI fleamarket..
was on fleabay but got pulled as i was advertising it elswhere and they
don't like that, even though it was a buy now or offers..

anyway..
100w on 10/11 and 125w on HF 80 to 10mtrs, with WARC.
top of ten missing and replaced with top of 11mtrs..
so 26.900 to 29.050 give or take, all locked on..

original VFO changed to a solid one from a FT-107.
FM board, works fine, just a spare set and i need funds to pay for other
things..

£150...paypal or cheques postal orders etc..
PX for another HF set ??
got FRG-9600, FT-290R and FT-2700RH to deal with for the right set..

Failure to understand the way the market works nearly killed M&S. It seems like
they have finally got a grip on the subject, and things may be looking better
for them.
A few years back, in an attempt to see what was wrong with M&S, people on the
streets were interviewed. The elderly thought it was a shop for the young, the
young believed that it was for wrinklies. The lower income groups thought it was
up-market, while the posh thought it was "cheap".

The same concepts apply to radio and CB as all other markets.
Image is important, a product or service must appear to be aimed at a specific
group. It may be total crap but, as long as the customers see it as being for
them, the sheep of this world will go out and buy. The customers must know
they're buying cheap crap, they just don't like their noses rubbing in it - as
Ratner found out.
Another trick is to let people believe that something is popular, so they have
to buy it to fit in. The music industry really knows how to play the customer,
put a song at number 1 and it will sell. Some charts are now controlled by
"air-play", and some stations allow people to place requests and select
play-lists on the Internet. It makes manipulation that much easier.

Peter.

Absolutely.
It is illegal to use anything other than a UK or EU CB radio on the band.

So it is illegal to use any Amateur radio, "export" radio or American CB radio
on the UK or EU CB frequencies.
In addition, non-approved CB radios are also illegal to import, connect, own,
offer for sale or use.

Even then, the non-approved CB radios are illegal. Just being caught with one
can be enough, regardless of licence held.

There is no legal gain from having a multimode type CB rather than an Amateur
radio.
The main differences may be:
Image: One appears to be for CB.
Fear: The Amateur radio may look more complicated to use.
Twiddling: The CB may be easier for a "screwdriver expert" to
tinker with.

If you are looking for peopple who make careful and informed purchases,
then a hobby full of wally lights, rubber ducks, 1' magmounts and echo
microphones
is not the place to look :~)

To gain 12 and 10 in a nice small package, that already fitted into
the car it was installed in.

Hmm, point taken, but when 12 and 10 are dead, like most of the time, it
would be nice to have CB..

then again, have you tried to get the chipswitch to cover 15 too..

might get my lincoln done, wonder if it will go higher, like 32mhz, get the
phones then..

I think it only right to point out that the above only applies to
Amateur use - it is NOT legal for CB use, regardless of licence held.

We wouldn't want anyone misunderstanding and thinking they can legally use one
for CB. If they still decide to use one for CB, then they do so knowing the
risks.
