OK, so now I want to put a radio on board ... but which one?
The way i see it we have
1) CB 27 MHZ Lisencing requirements ... Uhh ja no well fine!
2) Off road 29 Mhz. What are the lisencing requirements?
3) Marnet 70 Mhz (Military Area Radio Network) - I am a member and have an allocated callsign and am covered by a blanket lisence. Thtas for local security and thats in my vehicle anyway.
4) FRS 400 Mhz (Family Radio Service) Unlisenced
5) GMRS 400 Mhz (General Mobile radio service) Unlisenced
So, what is everyone using?
Whats the buzz with radios?
Re: Whats the buzz with radios?
Some guys are still using 29Mhz, but it is very limiting ito range and older technology.
Club is using VHF mainly

VHF is 147MHz - 170MHz, if I am not mistaken.

Mike, some basic reading here, although I'm pretty sure you might find this superfluous...
