Friend of mine tells me I should start selling them.

I'd rather just sell the mod service tbh.

Much easier that way

Certainly for me.

Wouldn't need to stock anything but components. No worrying about sourcing good quality controllers, original or otherwise.

@transience What radio are you using to spy on folks?

shitty binatone pmr446 radio that you can buy from any department store

had one sitting in my drawer for years

Ah, I was hoping for something chinky to buy.

you can get radios that do it from China

but they aren't that cheap

I bought a baofeng uv-5r from amazon, same price as ali but ships from the UK

should be here tomorrow

you can sometimes find tecsuns cheaper and for what they do at how small they are it's pretty good value I'd say

if all you want to do is snoop on people like @Transience#0182 is

👍

i got a Baofeng UVB2 probably 6months ago but i couldnt figure out how to listen in on peoples conversations after an hour or 2 i gave up

How much better would they work for listening in, compared to tbe uv-5r?

I don't own a Tecsun so I can't say, I know they're heavily memed in ham radio circles though

for being so portable yet powerful as a LW/SW scanner

this looks badass tbh

I have some super vintage German comm radio I found in the woods as a kiddo.

yeah those are cool, I had an old Realistic scanner but I sold it

not as many things to snoop around my area

Found the sucker. 👍

very aesthetic

I wonder if it can pick anything up.

Might save me $25.

I mean, it might be busted. I never even tried powering the thing up.

radio waves don't really change so I'd imagine so if it works

Well sure, if the thing actually still works.

this is the kind I had

@Deleted User @augo stop bloating <#287939846662651906> 😡 😡 😡

More bloated than linux kernel tbh

Oh yeah, Gongtian arrived today

but I suspect it isn't the 2016 edition, still good though. KZ ZS5's are decent but no nigger bass so grr and those cable organizers are great so imma sell the other two i got for a few quid

the Orico one?
