Radio help

Post by Obelix4eva »

Ek is nuut op die forum se ek fra byvoorbaat onverskoning as ek iets fra wat alreeds bespreek is.
Ek is die trote eienaar van n 1998 2.4 ltd al vir so paar maande maar het n paar vrae oor radios.
Ek het die bakkie gekoop met 2x29meg radios (Gme 300 en n handheld) maar ek kry nie n lisensie vir een van die radios in die bakkie se papierwerk nie so ek wil weet wat is die maklikste plek om n lisensie te kry verkieslik in die Kaap dat ek sommer na die plek toe kan ry en alles uitsorteer op die plek want ek werk op die see en tyd is nie aan my kant om te wag vir goed wat deer die pos moet kom en so aan nie. Hoe weet ek die radios is op dieselfde kanale gestel as die ander ouens in my omgewing want as ek in my bakkie is sit ek altyd die radio aan maar dis slegs stilte. Ek glo nie ek is die enigste ou in die Tyger Vally omgewing met n 29 meg nie want baie van die bakkies wat by my verby kom het antennas op. My radio se antenna is omtrent so lank soos paasnaweek so ek wil maar net weet ek hoor die ouns praat van die antenna moet getim word, so wil maar net weet wat is die lengte vir n 29meg antenna want die vorige eienaar het ek dink die radio self ingesit en as ek so kyk na die ander instelasies op die bakkie was hy nie te handig nie so ek weet nie of hy sulke detail sou in ag neem nie.
My folgende vraag is is dit die moite werd om nog n vhf ook in die bakkie te sit en as dit is watter een en waar kan ek dit kry??? Hoe gaan ek tewerk om die regte kanale op die vhf te kry en die lisensies vir die kanale en moet ek dit he voor ek die radio kan koop. My pa het ook n radio op die plaas in die huis so ek wil weet of ek my vhf sal kan die orra kanale en die plaas se kanale kan opsit of is dit n ander soort radio? Watter antenna sit ek op die radio vir die beste opvangs vir al die kanale as ek al die kanale op een radio kan sit.

Ek weet dis baie vrae maar ek hoop maar met al die kennis op die forum sal ons kan regkom.

Hi Juan and welcome to the family. Don’t forget to post a pic or 2 of your truck.

Regarding the licensing of you radio, I would suggest you talk to Eric (Family_Dog) He is our Radio man. There is nothing he won’t be able to assist you with. :thumbup: :thumbup:

According to my knowledge the easiest way of obtaining your license would be to register with ORRA (OFF ROAD RADIO ASSOCIATION) but you need to be a paid-up member of the Hilux4x4 club. That gives you access the ORRA and HILUX4x4 frequencies. You can also purchase a radio directly from Eric which he programs etc. In this case the radio is licensed and not the person so that means that should you want 4 radios, you need to register all of them with ORRA.

The other alternative if to get your armature radio license but that is much more difficult as you have to write an exam and pass. This is way too much hassle unless it is going to be a hobby in my opinion. This is the route I am taking next year just for fun. :twisted: An expensive hobby if you go all out. :shock2:

This is just my 2cw but I am sure the others would correct me if I am wrong and give you more information. :thumbup:

Sorry ouens ek kan ni fotos post nie ek het nie by my nie en ek is op n skip in Malysia so sal ees fotos kan op sit as ek by die huis is so rondom die einde van Janurie.

Jammer ek sien ek het die toppic 2 keer gepost, ons internet is nie so lekker nie so ja ek fra onverskoning.

Don’t be sorry, be careful. :twisted: Dit is nie n probleem nie, dit is hoekom daar “moderators” is. :thumbup: Hulle doen min genoeg. :twisted: :tease: Please don't ban me. :beg: I was only joking. :silent: :whistle:

Ons wag in spanning vir die foto’s. Image Dit gaan n laaaannnnggg Januarie wees. Image :lmao: Geniet dit daar op die water... :thumbup:

Welkom hier.

EK is nie seker waar jy bly as jy op land is nie.

Ek glo nie ek is die enigste ou in die Tyger Vally omgewing met n 29 meg nie want baie van die bakkies wat by my verby kom het antennas op.

Weet nie hoeveel 4x4 met radios wat werk daar in Swellendam omgewing is nie, maar in T/Vallei sal dit dalk meer mense wees wat, soos jy, ook net luister.
Ek luister ook gereeld, maar het al geleer dat daar baie min mense praat op 29Mhz, tensy dit op 'n 4x4 roete is.
Miskien kan ons iets begin sodat meer mense praat wanneer hul ry en so meer ons radios gebruik en kyk of dit werk.
GROETE OP DIE SEE.

Man Lourens my huis is in swellendam maar ek spandeer baie van my tyd in die Kaap omdat ons hoofkantoor daar is en ons moet alewig veiligheid kursusse doen en so aan om op die skepe te mag werk so ja dan bly ek by my GF in Belville ek dink die area se naam is Boston. Ek stem saam ons moet dalk n ding aan die gang sit ek kyk maar by ons hoe handig dit is. Ek het al baie gehoop as ek die radio aansit daar is n ander ou wat dalk oppad werktoe is en net se wat die traffic maak of so iets maar ja mens moet bietjie kyk wat kan ons agter mekaar kry.

You guys are making me blush! My red nose is not from partaking of any alcoholic beverages! ;)

Juan, I will email you a price list in a few moments. Should you want a radio (as long as it's a Kirisun PT3600 portable or a Kirisun PT8100 Mobile radio - the same as Val's), there is a very good chance that I can give it to Bretton tomorrow (Sunday) and he can bring it down to CT sometime next week. I have stock of these at home, so no problem and they are already programmed.

Alternatively, we do courier and courier charges to CT for a Mobile radio and antenna was about R220.00 for the last package we sent down.

Val, I have edited the email address you supplied, we have since acquired a new one due to problems with the previous ISP. The telephones are connected to a pre-recorded message at the moment and we re-open 16th January.

We'll overlook it this time. The only "Ooms" on this forum are Andy(Mud dog) & Mark (Ooooms). They jealously guard this position, so I am quite happy with being called "Neefie" ;)
