    CBRT gets naileed with the truth.... Again...

    I have bought a bunch of stuff from Sparkys and have not had any problems. If there was an error on the order, he took care of it. As far as relying on e-mail to contact him, he is easier to reach on the phone which is how I prefer it anyway. He's busy working on radios and getting orders...

    a question about a buyer

    I got the radio back and it has not done anything at all like he described it was doing to him. He will get his money back but he will NOT get any extra for shipping it back to me.

    New generation Cobra 148GTL

    I have both the new style and old style 148's and the new 148 is given a bum rap. It is a good radio no matter what folks are saying. I got mine thru Sparkys CB Shack, he tunes and aligns everything he sells as part of the purchase. Its a good radio, go for it.

    a question about a buyer

    I guess I will see if the radio does what he claims it did to him when it gets back. Other than the typical stuck meters and the clock resetting to 12 a couple of times, it worked well for me.

    a question about a buyer

    I have a radio I sold to a member here that according to his profile, has been a member here since 2005. In this whole time as a member he has only had 14 posts. I know the radio I sold and sent is better than what he claims it is doing with him. He has had all kind of gripes about it so I...

    handheld birddog antenna

    I thouhgt it could be fun to make a small handheld horizontal beam to use to birddog CB radio signals. I am not wanting to transmit , only receive. You know , kinda like what you see the wildlife biologists use when they have a radio collar to track a wild animals movements. Does anyone know...

    info on the TR-696FD-1 ???

    My experiences with Sparky have been great. I have bought several radios from him and they work as expected, have sent some units in for repair and he was able to fix one and was honest with me about another being junk and not worth fixing (ebay buy-stupid me). I bought an antenna rotor and...
