    Midland 5001z. What is it?

    (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.

    Time is now to revive CB Radio

    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...

    Midland 5001z. What is it?

    No they don't have to. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/help_terms 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.

    Midland 5001z. What is it?

    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:

    Time is now to revive CB Radio

    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...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    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:

    CB Tricks site UPDATES/THREAD MERGERS

    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.
