Uhf Radio

[JamesK]

Finally got my UHF back, when I lived in the states I always had one on me while I was driving (got to be honest with you I always feel like I'm on the wrong side of the road here), I was wondering if you guys normally have them on when you drive and if so what channel do you usually "live on"?

+1. unless its the usual cruise channel?

[JamesK]

Yea basti thats the one he was talking about, anyway I think it's always useful to keep one in my car so if anyway sees a Silver Skyline with last 3 numbers in his reg 234 (cant remember the first 3 for the life of me) give me a shout, I'm usually on channel 40 (It's nice listening to the bears, traffic updates, and non-sense)

[Basti]

my cb has the emergency channels blocked. i.e cops, ambos etc. im usually cruising on ch 14

What CB are you using? I'm just using a handy 5W the range is decent but I'm thinking of getting one for my car I'm just worried about where to place the antenna

[iseekool]

I have a Uniden hand held (walki-talkie), always having it scanning through all channels, if i hear anything interesting I lock it on. However if i'm out and about with my mates who are in other cars i'm usually on channel 6.

JamesK - in regards to the antenna - possibly try an internal antenna. Just as an idea...

We SAU guys should elect a UHF channel, so we can have a shout out to other SAU people we see on the road... Any suggestions?

Haha that is exactly what I do, I really like channel 40 tho especially when they tell you were the traffic jams, bubble blowers, and bears are. I was thinking along the same lines as you Mark but how many SAU people have UHF's? And to make every1 stay on the same channel.....I'm up for that, how about you guys?

Out of curiosity which & how much was your Uniden Mark?

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

ch40 ! .... in the south east around the clayton/heatherton area there is this dude on there "bullbar' they call him, gives shit to all the truck drivers some funny stuff to listen to.

40ch UHF's are hard to find a empty station, and when driving they dont stay empty for long.

i'll see if i can get you 2morro Jamesk

In the northern suburbs ch3 has always something on but sometimes gets polluted by crap. Ch40 in my area is pretty quiet until you get near the ring road and hume highway.

My uniden is a basic walki talkie - 0.7W - came in a pack of 2 with charger and hands free with voice activation, I think it was around $150.00. Mainly used for road trips when traveling in multiple cars, helps save on mobile phone bills and if there is no mobile phone signal - because i usually travel to the mountains for some twisty action.

Cool I got a 5W off ebay, skeptical at first but got a lot of good review for it, it's a little bit complicated but I'm pretty sure it's because I'm a complete noob I like it

Bullbar is a complete tosser, he uses a big set up and bounces off repeaters so he is heard all over melbourne, im based in dandenong but get him clear as day in geelong and out past calder, there is another guy that is sometimes on really early who calls him self soprano, funny thing is if everyone ignored them they would get bored and go away (as most ppl with intellect of 9 yr old does) but they keep feeding them so they hang around like monkey's.

Channel 3 is the basic chat channel for uhf, the few times i have been on there i have found it full of use less idiots talking useless bullshit.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

hehe makes the day a bit more fun i guess.

funny thins was one day this trucky was giving me shit... he kinda shut up when i described his truck and his rego and what he looks like over the 2way, then told him to look in his mirror.

was behind the moron the whole time.

he never came back to my site.

[W0rp3D]

I never use it during the day, too many tossers, only use it if im doing night shift or im going interstate or country.
