If you were to choose between them, which one would you go for guys? There's a tenner difference and I don't see much difference in any other way.
Also, have any of you had any dealings with PJ Box and are they ok?
Thanks
Tam

canny help you with radio choice am afraid ,,but have used PJ Box for stuff in the past,,i know he gets quite a bad rep online from a lot of people,,but i have had no issues with him,,the last time i used him i had emailed him one Saturday night at 8pm about a radio he had in stock,,i could not find one anywhere else in the uk for sale. By 9pm that Saturday night he had already replied to my email and we done the deal for the radio,,the radio turned up the next Tuesday morning..

Thanks Alan,
That has put my mind at rest regarding PJ. I seen a wee Alinco DX 70TH for sale out your way on Gumtree but I'm always wary on there.
Cheers

Just for balance, I would Google the company name and check his Trust pilot reviews. Whilst most of them are very good the one star reviews make pretty horrendous reading.
Best 73 Gary.

I have used PJ box quite a few times over the past two years and have had no issues at all. In fact I had exemplary service with a personal touch. I didn’t google any reviews beforehand. Knights and PJ BOX are my two main go-to’s for anything radio.

Thanks everyone! I ordered an ss9900 from PJ Box on Sunday after a few messages back and forth, brilliant service and the radio is here today(Tuesday). Can't get much better service than that.
