Is collecting cheap so-called garbage radios part of the hobby for you?

[Omega-TI]

Do you ever find yourself looking for and buying cheap radios? You know ones that probably have poor performance, but are so cheap you want to buy one anyway just to see for yourself how good or poorly it performs? I've found it can be kind of fun, and very rarely you come across one that is surprisingly decent.

Let's hear your stories!

Yes, I had a period where I was doing this. I got a few gems but mostly they were junk...

Yes, I just got a few of those and did some videos on them. Two are below. I was actually surprised by the performance of them. Of course they had some issues but they did pretty well too. Both were under $10. I have a low end Retekess coming soon so I'll see how that goes.🤙🏻

Does a drawer where you toss them qualify as a collection?
