Thread: UHF Channel for Defenders/LRs?

Full marks on this one !!

What great idea.

Channel 20 seem to be the one - Got my vote.

Cheers

Hi All
My thoughts are to stick with channel 10 for the moment, extra channels are on their way (80), so trying for another quiet channel with the current line up is a bit wishful at the present.

By all means nominate a clear channel on the day for a group chatter channel, but dont forget that with channel 10 now being accepted Aust wide for fourwheel drive trips it does give a extra margin for safety, especially when driving tracks towards each other.

Im am at the present fitting a new Icom transceiver into the defender, that I didn't get time to have working before the last trip, this should be a change to the batteries running out of puff on the handheld's.

well channel 20 seems to be the go..gng1, you started this hread are you happy with the choice?

I guess they will be back sometme soon


I will work on a sticky in the introduction thread...but after that it will be only word by mouth I suspect


keep chanting ch20..ch20..ch20

Good idea
Just put it on scan and no probs,Hope the idea takes off would be great with the potential to change channel when the new frequencies become available

I go for Ch10, because that is where my radio sits, being the channel used by LRC-ACT. Given the move to 80 channels sometime early in 2011, we will no doubt make a change, or some of the current users of our channel 10 will, we hope!

20 Sounds good to me.

Chn 10 is a nightmare it is to busy.

Yes, it (10) is generally the nominate channel for most off road destinations EG : Simpson, Cape York.....

BUT, correct me if I am wrong - we are looking for a channel that AULRO members can communicate with each other on, are we not ????

I would assume (there's that word) if you spot another LR, you could switch to "20" and have a quick chat... yes ?....No...?

Channel "20" lets stick with that !
