CRT 2000 - Video
Video: YouTube/CRT France
CRT France have posted a short video of the new CRT 2000 AM/FM CB Radio. I notice that there is no price as yet, and this will be what makes or breaks this radio. Priced too high and you may as well get the CRT ONE/Albrecht AE6110, both of which perform very well for little money. But if the performance is good and it is priced just right and this could be a winner.....!

CB Radio Featured In The Press
I came across this great little article about 40 years of CB radio in the North East of England. Not much to it but good to see CB Radio featured in the local press. It would be nice to think that people might read it, dig out their old rigs and get back on the air.

Happy New Year!
So we reach the end of another interesting year for radio enthusiasts. A year where mighty radio companies have taken a tumble in the eyes of the buyers. Reputations have been damaged possibly beyond repair. Staunch defenders of radio brands have had to take a hard look and reevaluate things for what they really are. Numbers of radio operators continue to decline in many areas whilst some small sections of the hobby are booming - (The Midweek Nets!!!!!!)
PMR446 has seen its first truly mobile radio offering in the guise of the Midland GB-1. Too little, too late perhaps and overpriced but certainly an interesting addition to the radio hobby.
Looking at CB radios, the real stinker of 2015 has been the President Jackson 2 Chrome - What a steaming pile of SH!T - Not bad on AM/FM but simply awful on SSB. At £250 it's one to steer well clear of!!!! - Did President not learn anything from the Lincoln 2??????
There have been a few good or even excellent radios about but there is no doubt that the real winner has been the Albrecht AE6110. A cracking little radio with performance which totally outstrips its diminutive size. I am yet to hear of anyone who doesn't like this radio and for around £50 it's a real bargain.
Therefore I have no hesitation in announcing that the Albrecht AE6110 is "Delboy's Radio Of The Year 2015"!
Best wishes to all for 2016!

Rip Off Britain? - CB Radio Price Comparisons
Many UK operators (Including myself) feel that CB radio prices in the UK are too high. But are we justified in thinking this?
To try to answer this I have looked around the web to get the prices of radios sold in Europe to compare them to UK prices.
Below you can see price comparisons between radios on sale in Europe verses the UK:
I feel that there is only one conclusion to be taken from the prices shown - With differences of up to 34.5% I think there is a little room for prices to fall in the UK!

Yosan Micro CB Radio
Video: Youtube/Rigserach
Small seems to be all the rage these days! This radio has been around for a while. Not as good looking as the Albrecht AE6110 in my opinion but still a nice little radio that manages to do what radios costing 5 times as much cannot - It gives you AM in UK mode!

President Jackson 2 CHROME - In My Hands But I Didn't Buy It!!!!
So today I had a shiny President Jackson 2 Chrome in my hands. It looked lovely, well built and I was very tempted.... but after buying 2 x Grant 2's and a Lincoln 2 recently I just couldn't bring myself to part with another £250 on a CB radio.
If there had been loads of skip over the past week things may have been different, but the radio has been dead with hardly a signal heard. Is this a sign of things to come? Will sales of CB radios die off due to lack of propagation? Maybe!
So I've passed up the chance of having one of the first CHROME Jackson 2's!
Regrets? - Nope! - I can always change my mind next week when the Americans are blasting in on 27.385 LSB!

Albrecht AE-6110 - The Worlds Smallest CB Radio!!!!*
So I took the plunge and bought myself the tiny little Albrecht AE-6110. It really is very small. Very Very Small!!!!
Did I mention it's really really really very small?
10 cm wide, 10 cm deep and 2.5 cm high
4 watts AM/FM - Multi EU Band Settings
(Click Photos To Enlarge)
And it's really really CHEAP!

The Big Net - 34 Years Of Legal CB Radio In The UK!
Just a heads up - It's almost that time of year again. On 2nd November 2015 legal UK CB will be 34 years old and stations up and down the country will take to the air during 'The Big Net'.
Previous years have seen many stations taking part and the event has encouraged people to get their old radios out of the cupboard and get back on the air so it's an ideal opportunity to make new friends and get people talking again.
If you plan to take part please post your intentions on the Charlie Tango or Transmission 1 forums:
