Thread: Is is quieter on the old 1-40 UHF channels?

All the fittings are pretty good.

I'm just not sure if I'm getting the best reception. Reception is better than my 2w Uniden handheld but I haven't really compared it to another 5w fixed setup in my area.

Might do some more tests this weekend with the kids to test the range and quality.

There's a bloke here going on constantly about truck drivers and bum sex ect I pick up his signal all over the city I don't know what gear his useing but it's impressive

We use channel 16 and 17 @ work,there's always communication between despatch/allocater to the shunt drivers,24/7

There's a bloke from Coogee and he can be heard all over Sydney and he always uses 17.
Wish the authorities would shut him down permanently.He can talk and its mostly garbage.

cheers

Perth is not any quieter. Being used to country WA where you do get the occassional idiots but not that often due to distance. In Perth I generally have it turned off because you do either get the people short of a bob or two carrying on, picking fights and swearing like there is no tommorow. Then there are the truck drivers which is OK but every second word is f or c. Generally I dont even turn mine on any more.
There needs to be some regulation brought back in like there was in the old days and some accountability.

Saturday arvo I heard all the loonies and the rebroadcast of radio stations from Melbourne whilst scooting down the Pentlands at the blistering pace of 60kmph.

Sure you don't mean up?
