MS paint is CRAP! Why does microsoft update operating systems, Yet MS paint is still as crap and as limited in features as it ever was?? doesnt make sence?.

Try this.... http://www.getpaint.net/ much richer feature set than MS Paint, and Free. Not as good as Photoshop, but it does me for most applications.

Thanks ill give that a try

I use paint.net too - it's quite feature rich. There's a couple of things I'd like to see, but generally it's great!

Also the other recommendation I'd have is Gimp

Now at £265 and climbing...

yup it will get crazy, Ive seen these radios fetch £500 before.

That is nuts...

I guess these radios have a value that surpasses what they really are...

Send me one to evaluate on test equipment. I bet the synthesiser performance is much worse than a std 148.

IMO the best 148s are the unmolested ones that don't get expanded to high heaven.

i.e. just add the splits and UK40FM via an EPROM and a few subtle mods to improve the receiver and the PLL stability.
Then procede to spend 99% of the time on high band channels 1 to 15

I once bidded £300 for a box standard cobra mint in the box, Left it on auto bid thinking it was enough, as i wasnt there for the end of the auction. I got outbidded by a fiver! i was gutted, I was willing to go to £350 too. And id rather pay for a radio like that. Than this jentec mkV anyday. I think they are worth more totally untouched nowadays.

To me it looks too clean to have been sat in a loft for years. Even if it was stored in a box. Looks too clean and tidy, as if it were someone's well cared for pride and joy.

I find it strange that they have sold other radios in their history/feedback but then act dumb on this listing, Ive never seen a radio before I dont even know what a radio looks like

I tend to agree with Astradyne, looks a bit too good.................just wonder whether that's a Coblersw*nkshop £19.99 replacement Jentec fascia on a what must be a crappy old DOA??!!

But what happens if son returns and asks for his Jentec

Dad gives son £50 saying "thats all I got for it lad...."

[Crusader]

Now at £370 when its being sold as "spares or repairs"

Typical numpty ebay cb'ers paying more than what it would cost to buy an old hf set,could'nt make it up if you tried.
