I'd love to, but a search on Amazon reveals no results for this device.

True vaporware

I did a Google search of Xipon radios. Nothing on Xipon came up. I did get results on a pxton radios. Seems as they're rebadged Baofengs. A guy can get ten (yes, 10) of them on Amazon for a little over $100.

With DMR on 11 meters, I hope LADN is right and the radios are truly vaporware.

Exactly. There are just some lines that shouldn't be crossed.

Hey, I wouldn't eat vegetarian sausage, burgers, etc, but some people like it. That's why there are different flavors of ice cream.

Searching for 'Xipon radio" on Amazon brings up results for Rapid Radios, Samcom and Radtel. @ladn is right - it is vapor ware.

$500 for a 50W AM/FM CB? Who are you going to talk to on DMR CB? I have a 60w AM/FM/SSB CB I'll sell ya for $500. Only cost me $240.

I can't decide if this thread is Monty Python or The Twilight Zone.

If Rowan Atkinson were a Python...

I think I saw this CB on a Monty Python skit. "The Ministry of Silly CB".
