Hi all, well... I asked this question, some months ago, and I feel it's better to use new ones even though not everything can be 100% right. I think we've all changed, something or other, along the way out of the back of our vans.

Sorry T, I wasn't trying to steal your thunder (I should've done a forum search first). I just came across the site and thought it's not a good idea to use acquired used goods such as CBs as, other than a simple functional test, I couldn't verify their effectiveness in fault conditions, so wanting to sleep at night, I'd never do it. It could be argued what's the difference between a faulty new device and a faulty used device, as they're both dysfunctional, but at least I'd installed the new one in good faith - unless as others have said, declare it to the owner, but I wouldn't like to install it then either.

Oh wow! I didn't mean you were stealing any thunder... (all my thunders gone, haha), just pointing out that I had asked, (really, what's an easy question to answer), before... carry on young one!
