Cruise CB Radio!

[freaktown]

yea, ive been using mine and ive found that 3Km line of sight is perfect for cruising, and if theres a repeater near by (i live in lane cove and theres one right near by) your signal can reach brisbane lol!

Providing you can reach a repeater it will just keep jumping to repeaters, all on a small pocket sized, 2 for $58 uhf radio!

Very impressed!

How do you know if you have a repeater near you Freaktown???

I might go and buy this Uniden 2 for 1 as well!!!!

Bummer about the batteries - just have to get Ni-Cd recheargeables for it.....

whats a bummer about the batteries, they have lasted 2 days of pretty consistent use so far and i havnt even got the half battery sign yet!

There is a repeater near me somewhere near RPA Hospital, just google:

UHF Radio Repeaters Sydney

and you will get a comprehensive list and what channel they work on 1-40!

but you dont need repeaters for the cruises, as they work for about 3-4Km line of sight with out the need for any Repeater stations!

Its a good deal for $58 especially if you have a frined you drive with, or just have a spare to have incase of one breaking!

gianni and i got a set of these about a year ago for cruises.....

they are good. but only issue is the batteries.....unfortunatly when the y are off and in your draw they do chew the batteries.

but for size and use they are great.....who cares we just buy a bulk pack of 30 battereis every year for $15....not a drama!

[freaktown]

oooooohhhh ahhhhhhh the christmas card list!

No worries mate, it only comes once a year lol

*didnt know there was a chrissy list

Batteries are just one thing I never have when I need them. I swear I buy heaps at the start of the year and either lose them or they just disappear (usually because my sister would steal them for her walkman) - whereas with recheargeable ones, you run out of batteries, stick them on the charger and you are good to go.

Or if you are on a cruise, instead of having it on batteries all the time, connect it to your cigarette lighter and you don't have to worry about the batteries dying on you half way through.

I'll still get a set though...
