not real big on converted 2000's...and don't take allot of stock in his "radio check" in the video with someone who was probably sitting in his driveway. lol

But it is a fair price.

Driveway? I think the "radio check" was parked in front of his house.

Hell I paid less than that for one of my trucks. The AC works too. I have a $850.00 truck with an IC-7100 radio in it. To me the radio is worth more than the truck.

Why would you spend $900 on an old hacked up Cobra 2000 when you could buy a brand new RCI 2995DX 100w 10m rig?

Some people dislike RCI rigs, though I see your point KD8HMO.

Truly, it is a Serious Shame That no-one Manufactures a New 4 watt
SSB capable or not
Citizens Band Type Certified Base Station These Days, ..I Keep Looking!

Found this guys, I guess it's legit certified, still not up to old school Uniden standards though I would guess and it might have crappy filters and China made junk throughout the chassis (I don't know)

For the FCC forty, Galaxy are still manufacturing the DX2547 aren't they?

73's

 

[222DBFL]

I believe so. They are still making the DX2547. Just a quick seardh yielded prices being about $300 or a little less new. I saw 299 on Amazon. I'm sure if you shop about some too can find one cheaper. But yes they still make them. The DX2547 base station. Here is link to page from Amazon.
Amazon product ASIN B002LMIQQUHope this helps. Have a good one. Never used one of these, I am sure they do fine on AM. Might drift some on SSB. Don't know.

The word "this" is a link to the galaxy, it's too late to edit it into a blue font in my above post.

 

[222DBFL]

I don't know how well that radio will work on SSB. Might be fine for AM. It I am just not too keen on SSB performance! Rather buy a uniden 980 and small PS!! Be less money in the end too. But some like them. They are good for AM use or most Galaxy radios I have used are anyways. They are loud and clear radios on AM when setup right! But I've not been very impressed with SSB on them!! JMHO's.

Did Snake Radio Customs use his driveway cleaner and garden hose to also clean this radio?
