Breaker 1-9

Easy to pick and order just remembering my 10 codes lol but after 35 years of being off the airwaves it'll be great getting back on the air and at least a.m and sideband are now legal.

I was in the middle of programming some radios which were needed quite urgently. Unfortunately I was experiencing computer problems and needed to re-install some drivers.
I contacted Thunderpole for their help in getting the drivers and they responded within the hour, and had sent me the correct drivers for the job.
I’m so grateful to them for their fast response and help in this matter. Thanks guys.

*Now a 5* Review!*

*Edit* Now a 5 Star review! I left a trustpilot 4 star review for the below, after which I was contacted very swiftly by Andy from Thunderpole. He explained they had a solution to the problem and would be happy to post it out free of charge, which they did and I received it the next day! Fantastic service from these guys. (How all companies should strive to be) the beehive mount was not very good, the nut was extremely thin and week and wouldn’t pull up in the threads, unfortunately as I had already drilled a hole in the roof I had to just purchase another one elsewhere quickly to seal the roof. Everything else was up to scratch as usual.

Best retailer I’ve ever dealt with.!!

From start to finish absolutely spot on,
Had a small problem with the item, got hold of Andy and was told to send it back, brand new in box new unit no questions asked.
Communications was above and beyond after sales service second to none, very happy customer here, and very pleased with product. Great stuff

Waste of money.

The aerial quick release we had became rusty as not used as a quick release. The new one has a spring so strong it’s very, very difficult to operate. In fact virtually impossible. Waste of time and money replacing, however Thunderpole are reviewing the item and refunding the cost.

Delighted

Bought the new President Washington radio and associated cooling fans. Radio was ready programmed and the fans fitted before delivery. Excellent reception reports. Next day delivery. 10/10 *****

Excellent company

I bought an antenna mount which arrived somewhat faulty. Andy responded to my email quickly and dispatched another without quibble. I will have no hesitation in dealing with this company in the future. A++++ Andy thanks.

Thunderpole HD triple mag mount

Ordered the Thunderpole triple HD mag mount for my Sirio 5000 performer PL . Although the coax connector was not very good quality a quick phone call to Andy and a new coax was sent out with a better connector and Thunderpole even sent with a returns label. Thank you Thunderpole. Mag mount now up and running excellent swr on the Sirio now, it was very high when using the Sirio mag mount 145PL but with the Thunderpole I’m getting 1.1-1.3 throughout the 10-11 and 12 mtr bands. I would highly recommend this sturdy mag mount for any mobile setup.

Bad signal area...

Took advice from very helpfull staff & bought the extra's to improve the hand held C.B....Which then doubled the total ££££. Which i did not mind...Sadly due to the area i live in i could not get a reception, contacted Thunderpole and they could not be more helpful, returned the kit & they refunded my money after checking the equipment was in perfect condition...Thank you "Thunderpole"
