Two Way Radios

[iains]

The two-ways are utterly useless when you get there as there is massive cross-talk, unless you have the coded ones.

Much more useful for the convoy.

I'll be using a scanner and a radio to randomly sabotage other people's conversations with nob gags...

by "random" do you mean "all" ?

38 codes on 8 channels ... are you saying 304 frequencies won't be enough to find some airspace now and then ???

Dammit! Been rumbled...

304?? Mine has 8 from the looks of things....

Don't forget that there are only 8 actual frequencies. The CTSS codes just break the squelch on your radio when they detect the right code (actually just a sub-tone). You can still only have 8 people transmitting at the same time regardless of how many CTSS codes you have.

Our group has 4 pairs of them not sure what channel we will be on Probably 6,9

sounds likely!

[GCerbera]

We have some, guess 4/5 would be appropriate.

we are runing motorola talkabouts but they are all from the USA and on different frequencies, that means we get shed loads less traffic

I seem to remember you had hold of the other end of mine and shouting rude comments down it whilst I was getting ready at BTaP.

Care to re-phrase that?!?!

[DustyC]

Took me a while to work out a way I could get it in a language you'd understand!

It was a nob gag... not a whip antenna, it's clearly a nob...
