WTB: CPI CP2000

[Crambone]

So I am personally looking for a CPI CP2000 and accessories. It a radio I always wanted and I’ve decided to final look for one. If you have one or accessories you might want to sell let’s chat.

OH, STONER radios are always welcome also!

Ya I know Stoner wasn’t great.

Stoners were just all hype.

Indeed they were. There were lots of over-hyped radios back in the day. Take DAK's for example.......they sure look cool with the giant meters and all, but inside it's just another cybernet chassis with an 02A chip and a mediocre tube amp on the output. For half the cost of one you could buy a really good used ham rig and have a way better radio !

The CPI radio was a good idea. Not enough of them were made to get the designs past the "field test" stage. Tweaks were necessary to achieve proper performance, best I remember. The Stoner radios had the same sorts of issue, a good idea not fully developed.

Radios built and sold in the hundreds of thousands or more tend to perform better and be more reliable.

But hey, people still drive english sports cars. It's all in what you like.

That looks really sharp in black ! I've never seen a black one before ! I actually like it better than the normal cream colored case........ I've never been a big fan of white or cream colored radio gear.

I'm so used to the light colors on the CPI's that seeing it in black is kind of jarring. I can understand why someone might do it, and it does look better than something that has a bunch of scratches all over it. Reminds me of an all black Madison someone was selling a few years ago.

In any case it's a deal for a working collectible radio at the moment. May not be that way when the auction ends.

I ran a CPI 2000 for a while, I thought it was a great radio till I started running an ICOM 720A. The ICOM ran circles around it.

He has a white one that has the extra channels in it and a CPI desk mic. You can tell by the "67" in the channel display.
