Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

A couple of things from my radio 'stash' that I will never use, but hopefully will be of some use/interest to another member.

One is a Baofeng BF-888S, and the other is a Cobra 19 DXIII.

[imgw=600]http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr173/DJ_Nik_Gnashers/B4564194-6EE4-4A9F-A80F-DC823AF09349_zpsk55ggrvv.jpg[/imgw]

The Baofeng looks to be either brand new, or hardly used. It is unfortunately the very basic one, with only limited frequencies/channels.

Baofeng BF-888S Specs

Band: 70cm-only
TX Power: 5 watts
Frequency Range: 400-470MHz
Tones: CTCSS and DCS
Dimensions: 115 x 60 x 30 mm
Battery Life: Quoted as 8 hours

I think you would need a programming lead (not in the box) to program it to your desired freq's.

The Cobra is a 40ch A.M. only radio, presumed to be on CEPT (not tested it, just powered up to make sure it worked).

The box is a bit tatty, but the actual radio looks in very good condition, and the mic very clean too (I'm a bit OCD about used mic's lol).

So,
If anyone is interested in these items for FREE, all I ask is you pay the postage cost, and I will gladly send them out to you (UK ONLY).
If more than 1 person would like these, I will do a 'draw' with everyone's names in a hat, and pick a 'winner'.

Happy Xmas !

Thank you Paddy, Paul, & Mark same to you and your families :)

If anyone want's these items, just send me a PM, I think that would be the best way, letting me know which item you want.

That way I can keep a track properly if there are more than 1 person(s) wanting the same item. As said, I will just put names on bits of paper and get the wife to pick them out.

Well,
I will leave this open till next week, and then if nobody else wants the items apart from Glynn, I will post both out to you (Glynn).
I should think the total postage will only be £5-£8 or something ?

Oki doke,
I will 'close' this now, and the people who are interested will have their names picked out of a hat (actually probably a bag, but you get the idea) by my wife (who isn't a bag, honest).

The Cobra A.M. CB :

Woodworm/Steve
36Ian/Ian
razor36/Glynn

and for the Baofeng :

Smokey Jay/J
Black Knight/Simon
Chriswilko/Christopher

I will post the 'winners' of the draw in the next day or so, and PM them.
Postage will be £3 for the Baofeng, and £5 for the Cobra.

Nik


Mrs Gnashers picked :

razor36 / Glynn : for the CB

Chriswilko / Christopher : for the Baofeng
