which version do you think is the best grant?

[sitting duck 616]

sitting duck, is the black one an export grant?


to that I must agree with Spock

to not play with it would be...illogical.



have you compared the XL's to the previous versions? as I mentioned I was disappointed in the one I've tried, but I don't know if they're all like that.

How do i tell

Never buy from Goodwill, they are a corrupt "Charity".

what are you trying to pull w9? you like the grant then try to get me to buy a grant xl...

this is a grant?

seems more like a jackson to me except for just having 3 bands.

That eBay link is for the export grant. Stay away from those... the original President/Uniden Grants (didn't care for the XL either) are the best ones, IMO.

Not pulling anything, I do prefer the original Grant but just posted a link to a Grant XL that was cheap. You can buy or not buy I could care less but my Grant is not for sale.

Ok how about this one... eBay item #271700098013

The Grant XLs are killer loud radios like the older Grants. The 3 push button Grants with the D858 pll are good talkers but certainly no better than the XLs.
If you like an insane amount of extra channels go for the D858 Grant.
I own all 3 versions and the Grant XL is my personal favorite by a country mile.

Superhawk on Ehay can set you up....LMAO.

if those are ebay links I'm not getting them, just white squares.

I'm watching ebay, and my local craigslist. I figure CL is a better chance at a deal, but I've done good on the bay too. just takes patience and not getting caught up in the excitement of making bids.

I've noticed that the XL's usually sell for less than than the previous versions...
I wasn't aware of a grant LT, where do they fit into the grant line up?

 

[Crusher]

Th e grant LT. is after the XL version. Never had one, so can't tell you if they are good. But I'm sure they are decent.

A UPD 858 President Grant, found lurking in the closet
So far, it works great.

 

[SuperLid]

interesting...
I've just run across a superstar grant on eebay, where does that fit into this?

It is a clone made by Ranger.
