dick smith, tandy ect, the 40chan ones are fine, most have a range thats suitable for cruising,

slip just has to wait at the regrouping points longer

So the 3km units are good. I think I'll look at investing in one soon.

[BelGarion]

yer, they tend to operate on line of sight, but usually if your cruising in a pack most times the whole group are close together,

should be a good cruise tho, lookin foward to it i am

Mountain runs at night are great things! Not knowing the road just makes it feel more like Targa Tasmania!

Ok so you guys will be on UHF.. What channel?

As with those cheap H/H's you can always use an external antenna to increase your range somewhat.

Buy an RFI 6dB antenna, that pretty much doubles your range!

Just thought of something else.. have a look around for either a commercial H/H or mobile radio as these more commonly have 100ch plus so you can not only have UHF CB but you can also have the police and other emergency services to listen to.

The most popuplar commerial radio's to go for are:

Mobile: Philips FM900 - 91 or 92 series 100ch (200ch switchable eprom(remote or local unit))

Philips / Simoco PRM 8030 200ch (remote or local unit)

Philips / Simoco PRM 8040 200ch (remote unit)

Tait 2020 100ch (remote or local unit)

All the above have 25w RF output as compared to 5w RF output for a standard UHF CB.

Hand Held (H/H)

Philips / Simoco PRP80 100ch

Philips / Simoco PRP85 100ch

Tait Orca 100ch

OK... A night time one that i can attend....

YEAH... OK... What part of roma st do you guys meet...

Do you go to the transit centre and then go around the back of it and park out by the back platforms... You know the part where you have to go through the little tunnel???? If that the spot then i know it... If not then explain how...

[BelGarion]

anyone notice that the last sau cruise was at the begining of feb? startin to become a regular thing, which is definatly a good thing.

i thought we are meeting same place as last time, up the top in the parklands carparks, smoothline can tell us for sure, hes the one organising this

btw smoothline, you wanna organise a meeting point for us goldcoasters so we can cruise up in a bunch?

[SmoothLine]

yeah same meeting place as last time. But i will find i this time.

Yeah bel, gold coast meeting place sounds the goods, that way i DONT get lost this time, lol. How about coomera BP?

[BelGarion]

coomera bp sounds good, round near the maccas side there, i should have a white 180sx with me as well

[Mesmer]

hmm well if there is a gold coast group going up in a pack i will go up with you guys

What time at BP?

John

[BelGarion]

not really sure, smoothline can decide that too (joys of bein the organiser)

if im meeting at bp coomera tho, ill be goin so theres enough time for me to get into some nandos chicken before we head off,

usually takes about an hour or so to reach bris from there at a sedate pace

[slip]

We meet in the Roma St parklands, on the road that runs through them. Theres parking spots all along it.

EVERYONE meet at the TOP of the road in the parklands. Its on a hill, so figuring out which end I mean wont be hard Last time we had a group of 31's and a group of others 100m apart, bit silly.

Channel 16 on the UHF's.

[Nissan Maaaart]

Hey Slip.......

I said meet at the SOUTHERN end on the last cruise it was the guys in the R33's R32's that started the Trend up the Northern End....

But All Good......

So the Meeting Place Is Closest To The Gregory Tce Entrance.
