that is correct.

the $99 is probably what most of us have and being a uniden, there is accesories such as external speaker etc for it.

speaking of 33's - i saw a couple of nice ones yesterday in blacktown.....

white S2 with a kit some big wheels, plates were RNAMUK or something like that... and a nice maroon one with the plates NOS200 or somerthing, had a GT-R wing and i forget the kit

How come you sit up in the repeater channels ??

(31 to 38) - It's technically illegal, but more so, it pisses others off...

Repeater Output - Channels 1 to 8 inclusive,

Repeater Input - Channels 31 to 38 inclusive.

--------------------------------------------------------------

How do you work through a repeater?.

All modern UHF CB transceivers have the function of being able to select duplex on channels 1 to 8. What this does is configure the transceiver to transmit on a channel 30 channels higher in frequency (called the repeater offset), every time you press your microphone button to transmit, but still receive on the channel you have selected. Therein lies the clue to the way repeaters operate - receiving your transmissions on the higher frequency, say in the case of a channel 4 repeater, channel 34, and retransmitting your transmission on the lower frequency, channel 4, so that all transceivers tuned to channel 4 in the footprint of the repeater will hear your transmission, as relayed from the repeater.

The downside of repeaters is that they tend to attract the "moronic" element due to their large coverage area. As the Authorities seem little interested to contribute to any policing of the band, it is largely up to the UHF operators to conduct themselves in a proper manner on the air and in doing so set a good example to others. There will always be that rebel element who, when behind the anonymity of a microphone cause trouble. Just remember that to respond to these individuals is to reinforce their very existence. Getting responses back can only increase their satisfaction of what they do. So the moral of the story is DO NOT RESPOND. It is the only weapon the responsible operator has of maintaining some degree of control over the quality of the UHF CB band.

easy...

you talk on chanels 1-8

and you listen on channels 30-38

eg. you talk on channel 4

you listen on channel 34

Question to South (it's PL97 here :mad: ):

Can you still use this function if you are outside of the range of a repeater? Do you need a repeater station setup inorder to use the duplex function?

so does that mean you can't "listen" on channel's 1-8 ? ;)

how are you suppose to have a decent converstion?

you'd say something on channel 4 for instance, and then switch to channel 34 for the response, then switch back?! :D

I think the unit transmitt on 4 and receives on 34 automatically franks. :mad:

EDIT: shoulr be other way around...receive on ch4 and send via ch 34 :D

I still don get it ???

If you are on Ch4 do you have to switch to Ch34 to Listen ?? That sounds off.

Sounds like we need to change to Ch RB_25_DET (Channel 25) for the standard UHF channel now......

:mad:

ok I *think* this is how it works if your unit supports duplex :mad:

- you are on ch4 and have setup to use duplex mode.

- you press the button to talk and the unit sends your voice over as ch34 to the repeater (4 + 30 = 34 wow)

- repeater receives your signal and broadcast it back out as ch4

- everyone on ch4 hears your voice

    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup. 
    • Cheers thanks for the help mate I’ll see how we go with that one
