Just back on here and realised I hadn't put any pictures up of the multimode , so here are a couple . Also a couple of shots of the Audioline PT-342 which arrived this afternoon - that one will become my mobile rig as it is the best one of the three of these I currently have , once I drill a hole to ...

Hi , while I'm not aware of any IP rated CB radios ( there will certainly be PMR units designed to be used around boats etc ) the best suggestion I can make is that you look for rain protection cases for whichever radios you already have .

I work for one of the emergency services doing video ...

Frequency counter connected ( I bought it secondhand so cannot verify its accuracy ) UK channel 19 , which should be 27.78125 MHz reads as 27.7867 Mhz .

I can communicate OK with my several UK 27/81 sets with nothing apparently wrong , and audio sounding OK , in both directions .

I don't currently ...

It might just be that there is no one on air within range of you . UK FM channels tend to be fairly quiet most of the time . I seldom hear people on FM , yet I have several rigs and can verify that I am transmitting and receiving OK .

Today , the skip is running and I can hear lots of stations in ...

Well , I got the major M360 back in May , used it to chat to a number of stations both in the UK and overseas , although I could receive fine , some reported that I was transmitting off frequency . Notwithstanding the nice condition of the rig , it was 40 years old and doubtless some components ...

Some pics of antenna

I ordered , and received , the correct power lead within a couple of days .

The set has proved excellent . Not much on FM , nor standard AM , but the sidebands are very lively .

So far , I've heard stations from Texas , Louisiana , Canary Isles , France , Bulgaria , Belgium , Netherlands and ...

I started out in 1981 with the then newly legal sets ( and still have my original Binatone Breaker Phone which was my very first rig , plus two others I bought later ) ; had a great many UK40 FM rigs , and later got a Ham International Multimode 2 , then eventually a NATO 2000 , sadly both sold on ...

I just put up my Thunderpole5 last weekend ; it is on a mast , braced down the rear wall of my house , with the bottom of the antenna more or less level with my cast iron gutters , there is also a cast iron drainpipe about a foot from the bottom of the aerial and going well into the ground .

I am ...

A couple of pics

I got my Major M360 last night , and got home very late with it , after a long day at work ...

I was initially worried that I'd been sold a lemon , despite its good cosmetic condition and coming in the original box and with the original mic and schematic diagram .

On getting home , the initial ...

Finally got around to putting up my TP5 which i bought a month or two back ; the day started out well , but a thunderstorm developed and I didn't fancy being up there if lightning struck my Thunderpole . I plan to ground it to the cast iron drainpipe just next to it - just in case .

Here are a ...

I've just picked one of these up as well , getting it on Tuesday when I will be passing the vendor's location . I'm just in the process of setting up my Thunderpole 5 antenna and will cut the whip to 32" since this is right for UK40FM and also happens to sit nicely in the middle of the bands covered ...

The Uniace would fry your ears with its white noise , The 340 is easier on the ears with its low tone buton .Appart from this button they were the same radio .


That's why you could buy the Uniace 200 , which had the low tone button and a few other things , basically same rig as the Audioline ...
