Albrecht AE-5900 Mini SSB @ Knights

Knights in the UK have a limited stock of the new Albrecht AE-5900!

Price: £199

Personally I think this radio will be too fiddly to operate with my big fingers (especially on SSB) but I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will love it!

CB radio in Blackpool - Anyone on????

Video:YouTube/Mason's Dad

Well worth watching this interesting video showing what to expect when you buy a CB radio handset these days.

Of course CB handsets have a very limited range due to the tiny antennas and you really need to invest in a longer antenna or get yourself up to the top of hill to get the most out of it. Even then, making contacts on a CB handset can be very challenging as stations tend to be spread far and wide. It's not like the 'good old days' when there were a hundred operators in every square mile!

Albrecht AE5900 Min SSB CB Radio - M0OGY

Dave's got his hands on the new Albrecht AE5000 Mini SSB CB Radio....

Personally I do like it, but I think that it will be a little bit fiddly to use with my big hands. I also think that this radio will probably be better leaving as a stock, legal set. I don't think that it will make a very good export radio. I guess that time will tell. Anyway, enjoy the video....
