p.s. for all you circuit buffs, RV 702 ups the AM modulation, RV701 ups the FM modulation. Not mentioned in the utube brief. THere again who on earth would DX on FM?

I like the option of expanding the channels primarily cos the rig then does 10 and 11 meter duty IE its CB and Ham and after TSHTF I will defo want to access the ham burgers.
So once again I'm looking for a rig that has MORE than 4 watts, I can be happy with 80 channels but I want AM and FM, and prefably side band if the rest of the loon..... erm members decide SB is neccessary.
I bet you buggers could find an 80 channel CB EU / UK AM /FM unit that carries PMR 446 as well with a sensible 10 watts at least ?
If you wait patiently NR there are already AM/FM/SSB sets for sale in Europe. They can be shipped here.
To what end though? OFCOM won't licence them, ever.
They're too scared to upset the ham world.
Looks like you'll have to learn bacon (Whoops) ham NR if you want to play with POWER legally.
You're handheld could be plugged into a burner but it's not terribly good idea.
At home, do you have a big aerial to plug your handheld into?
4 watts can travel a long way provided your aerial is high up and well tuned.
