    I've been trying to simply register on their site forum, and can't even get that accomplished. I've contacted them 3 times to ask what's up...no reply. I'm done...there's plenty of other forums around.:dontknow:

    Just curious what kind of radio did you order? Must be made of gold cause you sure caused a commotion. I understand where you're coming from though. Thinking GI Joes burned me on my last order. Said the Galaxy 73V would be peaked and tuned and do 30 watts and I know they can do it. However seems to be only putting out 10 on max power. I hooked it up on 2 different meters and same results both times. As well as the meter on the radio barely moves on receive and goes to 10 watts there too and forward swing on the meter when talking only goes half way and had them put a swing kit in it. Or maybe they didn't and just took my money because I told them on high power wanted a 2 watt dead key and swing to 30. I haven't taken the covers off the radio yet and looked inside but from what I'm seeing don't think I need to. So I guess I'll take it to my tech here and have him do everything while I wait but live and learn:biggrin_2552:

    If you gave GI Joes any money at all, then yes they burned you!

    Well was more interested in the radio than anything else was only $50.00 a drop in the well if considered what I've spent on my equipment as a whole. I don't get mad just never shop there again trust me it's their loss:yes2557:
