That was my idea. Another TOY ;D ;D ;D

Hi Alan,
Where have you see the two pack Motorollas?
Tnx
-
Try midlands GXT500 5w radios..14 mile range capability 22 channels, and 38 privacey codes per channel..about £59 a set.. ;D might as well DX whilst on those long jobs...superb audio and range...available from :P...welll....er....me ;)
-
Take Scott up on his offer. 14 MILES :o!! That's gotta be one motha of a truck mount you're running there ;D.
My motorala's were from Staples and they have a 3km range. Which sounds sufficient to me but as for several floors up with computers all around ...... I dont know. Scotts kit sounds good.
Tell you what I'll sell you mine and I'll get rid of a pair of Scotts for you. ;)
-
Hey...good idea ;D They are variable power up to 5w..check out the spec. www.aurora-services.co.uk/eshop.htm (http://www.aurora-services.co.uk/eshop.htm)
-
I'm in! I've kept all the packaging and I'm going back to staples tomorrow to get a refund.
Will I need a licence to operate them? How much are the Nimh battery packs and charging base or are they included like the set I just bought.
-
Alan
licence ::) They operate on 462 mhz...the ones you bought are prob pmr 466...the ones sold almost everywhere, but dont reach further than a few hundred yards, providing theres nothing in the way.
these radios are not sold in the uk and are prob not licencable here unless you hold a ham licence, but there will be no problems and have had no problems as of yet....however it is not advisable to use them on certain channels if you leave in clevland, as they can interfere with some health authority frequencies...anywhere else...fine.
The chargers and battery packs are available on order, usualy within a week, and yet to be added to the site...at £30, however, as they are american,a 110v-240v adapter is required...they only cost a few quid...(you can use an alternative charger which is the same or above rating)We will however be advertising the full kit on there shortly..
regards...scott
-
Scott,
Is the site yours?
-
Hi
Yes the site is mine...I know it's a bit shoddy at the mo, but we're in the middle of setting up a proper one for those type of goods, and it's just temporary.
We host a few online stores, including adult ones :o...but I have been dealing with communication equipment, such as...since 1980...so only import stuff that I know is of quality. I have held a ham radio licence since 1981, so know all about this field.
These radios are new on the market, and are the first of their kind to push out 5 watts, at such an economical price range.
Since my last post, we have struck a deal with suppliers, to also supply, the whole kit, which includes 2 radios,charger, 2 battery packs, and head sets..and these will soon be on sale too...Our aim is to import electronic goods which are un-obtainable or too expensive, or indeed (grey area) in the UK, and resell at affordable prices...I think it is a disgrace what they sell these pmr rubbish for in this country...they are toys.
-
Forgot to mention...We have sold over 100 sets of these since november ;D
-
In that case what's a carpet cleaners discount? ;)
Alan
-
Theyre sold at discount mate...wouldnt be any point otherwise....if you live near here, youre welcome to come and try them out. ;)
-
What part of the world you in alan?
-
Dont be shy guys...the equivelant "kenwood" or "icom" radios are £90 each ;D
-
Croydon.
Tried my (up to 3km range) motorolla's. Managed about 300 meters in a suburban area. thats 10% of their potential!
The range I need is for working in a 21 storey office block with all the associated computer interferance.
Are yours clumsy great things? How do they compare to the average mobile phone in size?
-
Alan
Croydon! That must be the Nestles building.
Len
-
Nope. Leon House.
Nice try.
-
They sell these radios on ebay
-
No ,no clumsy....You must have ferret hands ;D

Thanks
Ben

Benny
Havnt updated the web page yet, as there isnt enough hours in the day!
Yes We had a load last week, but they are gone again..I do hope to have them in stock again by the 18th jan....they are the full lit including headset, battery packs and charger(however bear in mind what I said about the charger)...£89 plus p&p....will have it on site by fri evening...you can have a look then...cheers
-
Scott,
Is there such a thing as a holder that you can clip onto your belt for the walkie talkies?
Tnx.
Ben
-
There is indeed...It's a belt clip and its a springy one, rather than the sturdy ones that can snap..In other words, It slides onto the back of the radio, and you can pull the clip outwards, and It's spring loaded to help avoid breaking the clip or radio...they are included.
