Simon the wizard often says on his blog that there isnt much call for SSB CBs according to the dealers. When ever someone on a forum says what about a legal SSB radio or even an AM/FM radio, most people say buy a SS9900 or similar, or buy a secondhand HF rig. May be there is only so many rigs that will be purchased

In a 10 hour factory working shift they’ll make 1000 CRT One N and SS9900 they’ll make 200 maybe 250 if all goes well. I petitioned dealers in Czech, Poland, Germany, Romania to see what actually goes. It’ll be in the magazine later in year.

Czech Rep : For every 10 AMFM sold it’s maybe 2 SSB
Poland: Mostly all want AM if need SSB used HF way to go
Romania: Price dependent but want high power mode and FM
Germany: More akin to UK but want good deal, better price

My friend here bought a Grant II Premium delivered and expanded from Germany €339

A friend bought from a forum in Germany a TS140S a power supply and a desk mike €380 delivered. Why buy CB when you can buy a Kenwood....

Did anyone notice that the post about Radiozing mentioning Simon the Wizard was posted by Simon the Wizard and was talking about himself as a third party saying "Simon the Wizard often mentions in his blog" I find that very strange, but as Dave still really none the wiser about what's going on.

Definitely Simon's profile. But it is a very strange post as you say. Very odd indeed. Hope there's been no account hacking going on. Maybe Craig can look into it.

perhaps he was meant to put some quotation marks in there somewhere, as if to quote a third party.

Doesn't seem to be anything untoward. no other odd posts that I can see :-/

Never mind perhaps he thinks himself as a third party now lol, but then again I've never really listened to what he says anyway but that's my personal opinion

I used quote “” but never came up. My understanding is they are closed. Guy in Grimsby told me three days ago

R.I.P. Radiozing. Sadly pushes more customers towards that other vendor who seems to get angry and nasty if you dare to raise an issue with him. Sigh
