    got one in big red, or near enough to it and Im pleased as with it...

    just need to replace the whips after a bird strike.....

    I originally had it fitted to kermit when I drove him from sydney to townsville when he caught fire, was glad for the AM side of business then as I was close enough to get contact in town and get someone out to help me back onto the road. (id kinda paniced and put him into a ditch as part of the oh crap theres black smoke pouring out of the hood and flames as well thing) It was about the only thing still working..

    Thanks Dave,

    I have been doing some research into them and they sound pretty good. Of course the blokes in town selling them 'swear by them' but I wasn't prepared to believe that. I do know one bloke with one, discovered this yesterday, and he is very happy with the unit.

    Fire hey - olmate had smoke pouring out from the bonnet on Friday arvo after a service. After a mild heart attack thinking 'she was going up in flames' I discovered the elec fuel pump was the problem - needless to say, the old mechanical one is back on now. I got away scott free as I only lost the wiring to the pump itself.

    I had the rubber grommet collaps into the firewall and all the wires to the dash module chaffed through shorted and burnt..

    I got lucky as I had 2 extinguishers on hand.

    Dave, sounds like you had your work cut out for you for a while.

    Disco Steve. Let me know how things go once you test the unit.

    Cool

    Hi,

    If you haven't already bought one have a search for 'alinco' on ebay. I picked up a dual band DR-620 radio with remoteable head for $420. Runs up to 35w on UHF & 50w on VHF!

    You can set them up to listen to 2 channels at once (one VHF & one UHF if you want) or scan a number of channels. I've got mine programmed with RFS UHF command channels & VHF fireground for my fire service command work as well as CB, police, ambulance, etc

    Very handy bit of kit with a dual band antenna for about $35 extra

    Cheers

    I highly recommend the ICOM IC-208H.

    Its a dual band radio, 55w on VHF and 50w on UHF.
    Massive RX range and with a very simple mod will RX/TX on UHF CB at least 50w if needed. Comes with remote head and cable. I can provide details of the mod if needed and suppliers for the below price.

    Retails for $399 in Australia.
