We bought a new support vehicle for the rally car and these radios were part of the deal, can you tell me what they are and if useful, what would be needed to get them working.
Any info would be great.
What radios are these?

Re: What radios are these?
It's a very old (mid 80s) Kenwood VHF Mobile radio. Problem you now have is that it would be illegal to operate it unless it can be programmed (but I doubt it) for 12.5kHz bandwidth. Radios of that period in time were 25kHz models. Finding the correct programming software for it now might prove difficult. Unfortunately we do not have it, Kenwood SA may or may not be able to provide this though.

That specific model came out of the ark, and that was how Noah kept in touch for him to be navigated.

Excellent radios in their day, but after 35-40 years they will need some attention.

Re: What radios are these?
Thanx Eric, I do remember similar types of radios in my Dad's bakkie in the late 70's, fitted into something similar to this

Re: What radios are these?
Funnily enough, I was just thinking back to those old Peugeot bakkies yesterday - the old "Farmer's Friend" before the Hilux was so popular and replaced it. Good vehicles those!
