Oh they are swamped alright, fixing the Fu&*ups they made!.

But hey, they are "hiring" a new partner, how the hell do you do that?

This was posted on the Clownz R' Us (CBRT) forum:

5/14/08 came a awesome day at RadioActive. We've hired a new partner & head tech to oversee all aspects of the
technical benches. This tech worked with us all during the 1990s as the "lead man", and now is back!
He will be active on the forum soon as well (more of a bench tech then computer nut but we'll break him in)....... RadioActive Radios is looking forward to new designs, better QC,
and more mods coming your way-

Dont forget you can now communicate with us even more!

" Hello-
By far your radio can be fixed. But we are not taking in radios for service at this time.
Our tech benches are swampped. Currently we are hiring a new head tech to hopefully be
able to start taking in more radios soon!
Thank you-
RA"

So all those people who thought you received a LifeTime warranty, here you go!!!

Do not under any circumstances buy anything from RadioActive!!!! YOU WILL GET SCREWED. If you want a Big radio check out Amps-R-Us.net you can get a hell of a deal on the new Galaxy 98vhp AM-SSB, Dead key 60 swings 225 to 250 it has 8 Mosfet finals.
it is very loud an has all of the Galaxy goodies
I have one of these, Mud duck killer. an will drive 6 8 or 10 pill amp.

Or Sparkys has a Cobra 29 they rework in house. Al, calls it the 29 stealth looks just like any other 29 on the out side but inside it has 2 Mosfet finals for a 6 watt dead key an it will swing 45-50 watts you can get this done to the classic an the Black chrome.

I have read a lot about these guys in other forums. Do you research before letting anyone "Whack" your radio...from what I hear ... that is a good term for what they do..:)

I also called the guy myself...he was very rude and tried to intimidate me in to using his service because anywhere else I go would "Screw up my radio" ... and he is the only guy that knows what he is doing. Quite arrogant and full of himself actually ... and after speaking to some real engineers ... not very knowledgeable.
