[Rwb]

was in local pawn shop.owner is a good friend.
i took him some .223 casings as he reloads .223. he said i got you an as is where is radio. i gave him $10.worth .223 casings for that v 8000.
it was badly in need of cleaning.smoker owned it n it was nicotine cummed up.used a lot of cleaner n got it working n lost smoke smell.
the fan was bad,got it cured but need a squelch pot n volume pot . both work but you have to pull on them to adjust
if anybody has a v 8000 thats bad let me know.
i talked to a friend last nite on simplex .he lives 45 miles from me.hooked to my tram 1481b he said i was hitting him hard with a very clear voice. said it sure sounds nice what is the radio? i replied v 8000 n he said DONT GET RID OF IT

It’s a damn good radio for sure. Although the shell casings are a valuable commodity you made a great trade for sure. Congrats…now that someone has commented go have your morning JO…Enjoy your day sir. Also call a tow truck and tell them SlowMover is in a rut and can’t free himself…side mics rule…ahahahaha. Bring a big dragon wagon…he’s the one in either a t680 or 379 Pete

rather than a large tow truck,how about a military tank remover? or better yet a bed truck like i drove in the oil patch? just flip my 5th wheel up n hook a 5 axle oil field float on n drag his truck n wagon on n haul him away?
