    This is so true, people coming into the hobby now don't realize how "good" they have it except the radios today are inferior quality to the old ones. The CPI stuff was easily over a grand in the 80s. I remember my father and I went to Korvettes and they had a sale on the Cobra 1000gtl, it was...

    Best SSB Radio under $300?

    I have not been a ham as long as you but I have 35 years under my belt now. I recommend radios that can actually be worked on.

    Unsolved Mysteries in the CB Industry

    AT-5555N II

    As has been said, you are new, said you just bought, and selling at an apparent loss throws up red flags. If you were offended sorry but I would always say what I did no matter what,if you don't then that's just you. As for being called evil and stupid if I were you I would take a long look in...
