Re: JD Custom ?
I've seen some of those before whilst searching the US site for Cobra bits. I think he/she/they are a bit like our Jentec radios.

Re: JD Custom ?
Whether it's factual or a load of BS, there's info about these radios on that Cobrawonkyshop website.
Designed in the UK apparently.

Re: JD Custom ?
What the heck is that thing stuck on the back on top of the heatsink ? And the heatsink doesn't even cover the driver transistor area ! Bottom case has a chunk chopped away to make room for a switch !, And it will still go for stupid money, It was ahead of its time is no excuse to pay big money for a modified hacked up CB.

This is not for me, looks crudely finished and quite rough.
Although it will most likely fetch a small fortune.

Re: JD Custom ?
I'm sure Ashtec had one of these many moons ago. This one looks to be a pile though.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!
Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

Re: JD Custom ?
Wasn't JD Custom a guy down in Surrey way that did all sorts of mod boards for radio's??
I seem to remember buying some Cybernet boards from Truck King in about 1988ish that gave UK and low 40 on 059/121 cybernets, and I'm sure that they were JD Customs.
I also have a vague memory of boards that put SSB onto UK legal rigs.... both Uniden and Cybernets......
Surely someone on here knows more about the guy??
