That is right especially on electrical items. Just have to get in early and on some specials you can get them late on the night before.

Risking life and limb I was at Aldi 8.30 with a sick 5yr old and we were watching the crowd build. I explained watch when they open the doors as they will run push shove to get in first for something they wanted...She watched and started laughing when it happened. BUT!!! when I was looking for the UHF radio there was a full on bun fight for the big bar stools, they only had 10 and one guy grabbed 5 and his mate the other 5. Well was on for young and old. Got the staff yelling and screaming as others wanted some, glad one wasn't me. Anyway they got 1 each in the end and others got some also. I had to ask as the radios were up the front in the cabinet, all very civilised and off we went. Jess was still asking why they ran and pushed and fought hours later. Bit had to explain greediness to a 5 yr old.
So hopefully the radio will be all ok..

i wired mine up in the new triton during the week working good went straight to the battery and the radio never lost any settings from sittin for about a month good i thought
Hi Guys. Got one for Father Day (after a few hints). Now waiting for antennae to come from Bairnsdale via eBay. Please be aware that the terms of the warranty state that it HAS to be installed by a "qualified" installer. I already had the connections in my 2nd hand Prado so just connected it up and raring to go.
Now the whole point of this reply is to find out how I use the damned thing. It is many years since I owned a 40 Ch CB and I need some tutorials on what the terms mean and how to use them. Is there a "UHF CB for dummies" type website?
