£180 for 1x Motorola, or £110 for 4x UV5R+'s.
Used CHIRP to lock out most of the funtions, except the business freqs we use.
now have 4x in service in various environments, more to follow if it's a successful trial!
Cool Binnie.
Please let us know how they hold up to the rough and tough of the working environment....that'll be a good indication of how good they'll be in long term emergency use.

Had a most successful day today. Will be getting a ladder tomorrow to start sorting the loft.
Today's a very successful day because I have managed to get 2 brilliant books, as well as a new supplier of food stuff for my vegetarian wife. Who knew they made vegetarian jerky?!?!
More importantly, had some REALLY deep conversation with the wife about prepping. She's much more on board and keen on the idea. Still not 100%, but she's much more supportive of the whole thing!!! SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
