More to add to my ever growing shopping list. I've got the UV-5R and a few PMRs. Going to get the cheapo CB, and hopefully the NVIS gear also. I'm hoping to have everything by Christmas.

Hi 00111001

Glad you found the information useful.

Re CB These look interesting Legally compliant FM units

1. NR purchased one of these and seems satisfied with it...and he's rather hard to please, so that's a good recommendation:-)

2. I've also looked at this one as a hand portable unit. Its useful having the low power transmit option for close in work and reduced battery consumption:

3. As a cheap mobile set-up I've recently installed one of these. its excelelent value for money, small, robust and so far has performed beyond expectations.
