[KZN185]

Just after a cheap uhf to mount in my 4WD for convoy travel and club trips.

Anyone know of any 2nd hand ones around? or good / cheap options?

I do a bit of hunting too so was looking at a handheld...

good option? 5watt sounds pretty powerful

you can get a 5w truck mount and a 2w handheld for that price, handhelds mean batterys which go flat

These are great and great for hunting http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-ph ... 806126.htm

I brought one of these:
4.7watt handhelds $159, just went straight to the supplier and I got some extras for nix.

Heaps clearer than my cheapie 2 watt hand helds, and definately has more range, By how much I'm not too sure.

Battery is rechargable and come with a drop in cradle, and has an adapter for the cigarette lighter.

Heaps of other accessory from the supplier. They have all sorts of bits for them.

Only played with it a few times, so no long term review.


Bad point is it's only a 40 channel jobbie.

Ive had one of these for several years now and its great, i'd buy another one even if was the same cost as the uniden 5watt units.
