This Radio is "HOT"
- Thread starter pro151
- Start date
i have to respectfully disagree and say that the radio in question is indeed NOT hot.
it is just an old 959 with the 1969 final with a couple of upgrades that the new MOSFET version of the 959 already has from the factory.
the diodes are the only thing that is done to this radio that is not already on a new MOSFET 959.
that kit costs 7.00 on ebay.
and this radio has a Freakin' hole drilled in it!!!
this joker wants to charge you $80.00 more than a MOSFET 959 costs new, and he drilled a hole in the radio!!!
i feel sorry for whoever wins this radio, as they are getting ripped off.
charging 50% more than the new price for a radio that has been hacked.
yeah, great deal. LOL
hope no one here is dumb enough to buy it!

Not too good at recognizing sarcasm are you there, loosecannon? 
When I put the word hot in quotation marks that was "Tongue-in-Cheek".

maybe you should include a legend at the bottom of your posts so that the rest of us will understand your little "quotation marks" system. LOL
here is a quote from www.sarcasmsociety .com illustrating the generally accepted ways of conveying sarcasm online:
"Online Sarcasm
Do you love zinging people with sarcastic remarks? Can you not get enough of the look on people's face as they are trying to figure out what you just said, because the art of sarcasm is lost on them? Do you want to do the same online (save seeing the look on their face of course)? Here is a quick tutorial on how to convey your sarcasm through electronic mediums.
Sarcasm in Emails
Work & Business
If you have the urge to be sarcastic in a business email,don't be! OK that was pretty simple.
Personal Emails & Instant Messages
This type of communication is generally must less formal, and on many occasions completely informal, so it is much safer to try work sarcasm into a personal email, without having to fully annotate it and entirely destroy the whole spontaneity of sarcasm.
Here are a few ways to make sure your sarcasm doesn't go unappreciated, or even worse, misunderstood, when you are working your magic on a piece of electronic communication (email, instant message, etc.):
The <sarcasm> Tag: If you are familiar with HTML, then you are aware of the variety of tags available which provide the coder with different functionalities which it provides for creating web pages. However, if you are not familiar with HTML, then just surround your sarcastic comment with the <sarcasm> and </sarcasm> (this indicates the end of a sarcastic comment) tag. Of course this particular method is best left to those who lack the mental dexterity to wrap their intellect around actual sarcasm.
Emoticons: by now almost everyone is familiar with emoticons. By simply using one of the following emoticons you'll be able to convey sarcasm. However, be forewarned that the chances of your emoticons successfully communicating your intentions are entirely dependant on the quality of your sardonicity, as well as the opposite party's ability to comprehend sarcasm.
See the side-panel for emoticons
Note: Another option would be to use the ubiquitous 'lol'.
Italics: Everyone uses italics in word documents for emphasis (and such) but did you know that italics can be an effective way of conveying sarcasm?
Be Cleverly Sarcastic: This final option requires titanic mental dexterity and intelligence, because you will be required to implement your sarcastic remarks in a way which will not require any additional 'aids' for the opposite party to understand. You will also be required to be able to correctly gauge the ability of the person you are communicating with to understand sarcasm."
there, hows that for sarcasm? LOL
BTW, your post was more sardonic than saracstic.LOL
(wow! even deeper levels of sarcasm! LOL)
i hope you didnt take offense at my post.
it was meant to laugh at the person selling the radio, not the person posting about it.
take it sleazy,

What gets me is he recommends an Astatic power mic........if the radio was so hot a stock mic would sound impressive.
I'mma gonna sell my President Jackson and get me one of them fancy "Flame Thrower" radios. w00t.

Perhaps
What is worse is the dude selling them on Ebay has sold some 110 items
And he has a 100% Positive Feedback
So Unfortunately
He likely screwed 110 other people
I suppose there are now 110 people who can now say
Live and Learn
(except the ones who didn't realize they got screwed)
