NorthpointNT3HP

[BigBopper]

I'm not easily impressed with new radios, I have been in radios since 1976, my first Cobra 29 was a 23 channel, but I am impressed with NorthpointNT3HP, HP stands for Hemi Powered Modulation, this radio has dual finals, blue LED's, Echo, adjustable talkback,,,,when I was looking to buy another radio for my Mini Van, I wanted a loud radio with front mic plug, dual finals was a plus, so I called one of the Best Radio Techs I know, Al @ Sparky's CB Shack, I told him what I was looking for, price range ect,, he highly recommended the NorthpointNT3HP," its a sleeper in the market", I hadn't even really look hard at this radio before, as I really didn't know much about Northpoints,,, I took Al at his word, and had him ship it to me, Al, peaked, Tuned and aligned this radio, all I had to do is get it hooked up, man does this radio talk!!!, One of the things I think truck drivers will really like is the face plate is a Plexa-glass cover type over the meter and Channel LED's, no dirt can get in that area, also has VOX Mic headset jack on side, for hands free operation, 3 power settings, Features listed on the web as:*AM,FM
*Vol,sq,mic gain,RF gain *Dual Finals 50w+ *Front mounted mic jack *VOX Mic headset jack on side*Dual Echo* Variable talk back panel.*Blue channel display & meter light*Band selector (6)*PWR Switch(hi, med,low)*SWR alert LED - *NEW* Auto SWR Cal (checks SWR)*ANL-NB*PA

Now mine is the 1st production run and all I can say, Man this thing talks!!
I want to again Thank Al @ Sparky's for the fast service, ordered Friday and had it Monday morning,,,if you are looking for a new radio consider the
NorthpointNT3HP,,,I think its a hot radio!! Stan Wells did good on his design of this radio!

Pic is the radio mounted on the side of the passenger seat

By the time a guy buys a Cobra 29, has it peaked and tuned, adds an echo board, he'll have as much money in that,,as buying a new Northpoint, and not as much radio ,,LOL,,,I've been there

[Mr RadioActive]

semi-agreed

[cannonball]

well i was gonna order a radio from sparky but he doesnt answer emails and the hours i've been working lately i cant call him or really anybody else for that matter. i guess i might just stop by a crappy cb shop and get me one.

[cannonball]

well most everybody is closed by the time i get off of work but i do go by a cb shop to and from work but dont like to use them but may have to.

BUMP OF THE NORTHPOINT

[elbuho]

NorthPoint = NorthStar ?

[BigBopper]

no different company,,,Northpoint is a small radio company

[jcollins]

thats right
:Peace!:

[elbuho]

AHH OK

[radioman45]

Yes actually it is the same importer. The former importer of Cherokee imported the Northstar Radios, the company name was wireless marketing.
