    No need to be sorry. I knew it was a gamble from the start. Thanks for alerting us about a possible awesome deal.

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    I have a UV8000E and it is a total pile of crap except for the awesome battery and great transmit power--when I get lucky and the PTT button actually works.

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    Roger. That was a great deal. So were both my AnyTones and both my Baofengs. My TYT, not so much!

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    It was not the Chinese stuff that tried to steal our money. I took a gamble so I wouldn't miss out on the deal if it was for real.

    I expect to get my money back through PayPal. I'm just interested to see if this mystery seller responds at all, and what they have to say.

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    Those sleazy $15 listings from Canada are all gone now. What am I gonna do with this $8 programming cable? Gotta buy a radio for it now. I sent the eBay "seller" a message asking about the item.

    Mine is to "setoososathe@hotmail.com." Similar random nonsensical gibberish name to the rest.

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    I don't think anybody is surprised. "If it sounds too good to be true..." Are we forced to pay full price for the newest model now, so our new programming cables won't go to waste?

    I just searched "programming cable for QYT KT-8900" on eBay radio communications and found a selection of them.

    Wow! Dual band Chinese mobile - KT-8900 - $15CAN!!

    There is no programming cable included. I had to order that from somebody else for $8. What a ripoff!

    Electric fence supplies are cheap. Many are great for building & installing antennas!

    My Magnum 1 does not have the Top Gun Compressor.

    Whats the verdict on the Magnum 1?

    I have a Magnum 1 and I'm getting great audio reports with a Turner Super Sidekick on AM. I have not heard it on the receiving side, though. The front panel is beautiful and lit up nicely for good visibility, too.
