29mhz or VHF
My license free 2 way radios packed up, now im looking at getting a real radio.
I see with the last couple of events (WC) the guys are using vhf's, for rent etc, killerdeals are having a navstar 220 for R900 which isnt bad, but if no-one uses them anymore then its bit pointless.

Re: 29mhz or VHF
We use VHF on events and are trying to persuade everybody who have to get new radios to go the VHF route as they are just so much better especially if we are in mountain areas.

Re: 29mhz or VHF
Ishmael die ding met vhf is die kanale ....
streng volgens die wet moet jy aansoek doen vir n lisensie. dan mag die verkoper slegs daai kanaal programmeer op jou radio.
So AS jy nou saam met die Cruiser klub gaan ry, sal hulle op die cruiser kanaal gesels - jy kan slegs saampraat as jou radio hul kanaal ingeprogrammer het ....
Daar is wel n paar manne wat radios verkoop met so paar kanale ....
met n 29mhz het beslis al die kanale opsies as die volgende persoon. so julle kan beslis met mekaar praat ......

Re: 29mhz or VHF
Yes Chris, the ORRA channels is the main reason why the club joined AAWDC.
If we use the ORRA channels we can all communicate with each others and other clubs who also use ORRA.
I agree, if you do not have something like ORRA you are limited to the couple of people who shares your frequency.
We did consider our own frequency but because half the club is up north and half down here we will end up with that problem where we will be 6 lonely vhf friends down in the cape who can only share our thoughts among each other and another 8 up north.
So at this stage the 2 ORRA frequencies make more sense

Re: 29mhz or VHF
Trevor, kry vir jou nuwe vriende! VHF, natuurlik ;)
Daar is sukke radios beskikbaar maar hulle is vir die Radio Hams allenenlik en kos baie meer as twee los radios!

Re:
Die VHF werk lekker in gebiede waar daar berge is, soos jy se George verder afstande.george wrote:29 meg werk heel goed as jy in konvooi ry en naby mekaar bly het ek gevind,maar vhf gee jou net soveel meer afstand en helderheid
Die ontvangs is baie duidelik ook, niks vergeet met 29 meg, maar ek verkies die VHF.

Re: 29mhz or VHF
Net 'n vragie.As jy 'n Namibier is mag jy die ORRA verkwensie permanent gebruik?
Ek weet as jy 'n Suid Afrikaner is kan jy 'n permit kry om hom te gebruik vir 3/6 maande.
Ek wonder maar net as jy 'n Namibier is in Namibie :problem:

Vir n SA burger met die ORRA lisensies - wat moet jy "doen" as jy Namibie toe gaan ? Word die ORRA lisensie net so aanvaar, of moet mens nog papiere kry ?
Re: 29mhz or VHF
