(y)It works
New in box. Fit and finish seems good from the outside. Cheesy microphone feels less cheesy then the one cobra is shipping because it’s weighted. Speaker may be bigger too.
NorthernTool is a very big online outfit with 100+ retail stores. Could it be a mistake? Sure. But since they run their own site I would hope they have some sort of sanity check on their own pricing. Like if something is marked down 90% is gets flagged. If they cancel the orders oh well.
I...
No they don't have to.

Even if some random thing shows up I'll just LOL about it. No way I am going to deal with boxing it up and going to FedEx around the holidays to ship it back over 8bux. It would cost more in gas just getting there and back.
I have /something/ on way via FedEx. I'll find out monday if its a radio or an owners manual for a radio :ROFLMAO:
Maybe a non-functioning "Demo" radio?
Maybe something better then a radio?
Maybe its just a radio?
Lots of suspense for 8bux :eek:
Ok cool I added that and other links to the 5001z thread

If/when I get my copy ill post board pics and testing data there.
Maybe from a radio enthusiast prospective. But realistically today I think it would just fragment an already small userbase.CB's main advantage is it's universalness and low learning curve. "Go to channel 4".
The #1 user of CB by a long shot is the trucking industry.
The 2nd largest is the off...
Here is a video i found showing the channel mod.
If I get my copy of this radio I'll do it and take some good pics of the board. Also see if I can map out the freq's

Well they are shipping /something
Well they are shipping /something/ to me. Hopefully its not some lame mixup and it's just the owners manual or microphone or something lol
Oh well if it is. It's only 8 bux.
I actually started a thread about these radios a few weeks ago because a local had...
Im hoping to make some AM DX contacts with my little radio. These conditions might make it happen. SSB has been a total cluster. We go from to little mother nature to way the heck to much :ROFLMAO:
Well if you want to get someone a basic AM rig for Xmas here ya go

I don't know anything about the 5001z but Northerntool is has been around a long time.
For 8bux out the door might be worth a roll of the dice?
38lsb sounded like Ch6 at full roar yesterday afternoon. There was a really triggered Canadian going back be forth with the local knuckle heads in NYC.
He just got scammed out of 40$ for a site scrape that is linked free here in this very thread. Cb-tricks is NOT legit. It was a pirate site that everyone always knew about but somehow BBI didn’t.
Well his ham call is expired/canceled now.
He has his domain info public with his contact info if someone wants to reach out to him.

Hopefully the owner can make a deal with BBI. His idea of making an open source repository people can contribute to...
