I have one PAID black radio that said member has advise he is willing to "sell" for $50.40 to anyone who did not get one, wanted another 1, etc.

The radio is already paid for so you would have to pay by the time the radios get here. Note Ft. Wayne/South Bend members NavyVet can take it back to you since he is picking up those radios.

Is anyone interested?


1st one to post gets it.

Praise to the Package Delivery Folks

I was pleasantly surprised when I order both sets of mine, they arrived weeks earlier than I expected from Hong Kong.

They are not "here", they are "there" even though the new there is a lot closer to here than the old there. I suppose I better dig around in the couch to find your dollar so they can truly be here and not there.

 

[NavyVet]

Any chance I can arrange a pickup this evening... Going to be out of state next week, and don't want to keep everyone waiting over here (for me to get back)

Thanks,

Well I have good news & bad news.
All 30 radios are here undamaged with all their gear.
We also have 30 driver/software disc and 30 USB programming cables.

However 5 of the black radios have this type of power plug adapter:

The plug connects to a US cable which in turn connects to the radio to charge the battery/radio.

I'll be emailing the vendor so hopefully he can send us the correct plug for these 5 radios. I believe it is possible to charge those radios by using just the USB cable into a PC without the electrical adapter.

I do know who these 5 radios below to as they had your name written on the box.
The 2 members that ordered PINK radios.
Ghost of Winter x 2
Wild Duece X 1

The 1 member that has not paid nor made contact with me.
evilblackgun x 1

& off course the wanna be Indy Traitor NapalmFTW x 1

See how "karma" comes are bites you boys!


Seriously not to worry.
I ordered 2 radios so will give one of mine to WD so he can be up & running.

Bill B if you do not mind we will use one of your plugs to give to GhostOfWinter so he has at least 1 plug for his 2 radios while the others come in.

NapalmFTW you are from England so once we ship you back to the motherland you will be OK with your plug.

Actually will any of the following members mind if they give "temp for now" one of their US adapters to NapalmFTW since you have 2+ radios on order.
- darthfader
- txlur
- salemons
- El Guero

I don't know any of you well enough to do what I did with Bill B.

So that only leave the unpaid radio with a Euro plug which I'll worry about in a while.

4sarge we will get yours pre-programmed and then shipped to you.
I'll send you a PM next week as I'm not sure when NapalmFTW can get to all the programming (yet).

OK I'm off to email the vendor.
Any questions?

[shibumiseeker]

They will charge from any USB power source. I have one charging on my laptop right now.

Thanks then I think those that ordered the PINK and the Brit are not going to get a new plug.

Good to know. I've emailed the vendor and hope to get a reply in the next 48 hours. So we will see.

BTW does anyone want another black radio?
I have one unpaid for at this time. First person get to me CASH, PayPal gift, or check can have it.

Also in the next few days I will leave feedback for all those that participated in this event.

FYI...

Just got word from the vendor he will ship the 5 missing adapters to us.
He has asked if we would like any additional add-ons so he can combine the shipping.
ex. car antenna's, hand-held speaker/mic, longer antenna?

NapalmFTW this is your realm. I'm sure we can get some sort of discount but in terms of upgrades not sure if anyone wants anything?

 

[Clif45]

You can give my power adapter to someone else. I have plenty of USB ports on my laptop, and about 5 of the USB wall adapters laying around.

 

[jedi]

The vendor does offer these upgrades for the radio.

UT-108 SMA-M antenna: $14.60 (no discount yet)
I'm thinking of getting one of these.

Speaker mic: $10.98 (no discount yet)

Speaker mic w/ volume $11.99 (no discount yet)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volume-adju...883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6b04493b
I'm seeing if their is any price discount other than getting the free shipping right now.

 

[Clif45]

That's one hell of a link. TL;DR

No idea what you talking about.
I BLAME EBAY!!

Okay vendor would like to know how many if any before he can offer a discount on the add-ons. Any takes? Lets give it will MONDAY otherwise I will just have him ship the other items.

I'm in for the car antenna unless NapalmFTW you think it's junk/not worth it (cheaper elsewhere).

Jedi..

Need to make details for picking radio up. I will be rolling through your area on friday evening and then again on saturday mid morning. Friday would work best for me, but either day would be fine. When we connect i will have cash for the extra radio if it has not already been taken.

I dont believe i will be going with any extras at this time. I would however like to know if the mount antenna is a good buy or what other option is best solution.

Thanks

 

[Bill B]

I'll pass on the xtras. Did you get my voice-mail oh great pink father?

 

[Wild Deuce]

PM/Email/Call me with pickup instructions and let me know if you had any takers on my offer. Thanks.
