illegal base station

[W5LZ]

Off the top of my head, it sounds like a salesman 'poo-pooing' CB base station radios because they don't carry them. If they suddenly decided to stock those type radios, I'd bet their story changes very rapidly. This is a sort of common ploy of salesmen. Comparing something they don't have unfavorably with something they do have. You'd think that they would at least use a plausible 'line', wouldn't you? Those not so plausible ones always 'bite' you in the long run. Wonder what else they use that type of story on? Makes me have 'doubts' about them, which isn't good for business.

Since I've never done business with them, and this is the only thing I've heard about them, I sort'a figure I won't be doing business with them.

they do have ham radios

I do have to say it does sound crazy that they would actually tell a potential customer they are illegal unless they only carry mobiles . Strange I must say

Looks to me that they don't have a lot of CB's to begin with.
Try another store - or get one from an online store - like "Sparky's CB Shop" or others.
BTW - the BEST price on the Maco 3-element horizontal beam that I've seen ANYWHERE...

Doc-
I've done a lot of biz with R&L over the years and never had a problem. I'm fairly certain Megatron/Galvatron/Bandit mis-interpreted what he was told. Just my $.02, FWIW.

PA629,
That's certainly possible, and I have no way of knowing since I haven't had any dealings with them. I'm not 'downing' R&L intentionally, but just on the face of it, it does sound like a mistake or an excuse. Doesn't it?
