PRC495. Handle is Ryan

PRC stands for Perth Radio Club.
Usually sit on our channel which is 25 simplex.

Its apart of a gateway connected to the internet. That repeater you key up on 18 is located in brigadoon which is connected to the net and goes through a program called PMR radio which connects heaps of RPT's all around the world, together. You will hear stations from the UK on there late at night. ...

What HGR said sounds like good advice =] Give that a go, good luck

I don't tihnk that some of the commercial users of the CB understand radio edicate or know what channels are designated for sertain uses (e.g chnl 5 emerg RPT.) Commerical companys are meant to purchase their own commercial freq or RPT that they can use to communicate amoung workers. However some st...

hi all. does any body know how long you can transmitt on a mobile bc radio? can they transmitt for long periods say 5 mins? It all depends how long the timeout on the radio lasts for.

PER01 Equipment Has been SOLD and sent to QLD. This is due to some retard CBERS driving past the Owner/Licencee of the repeaters house and using a paintball gun to shootup his house & car, After providing a FREE service for so long and to be repayed in this fashion who could blame them really. ...

Now i can slowly train my mind up to remember which channels have which RPT's and are located in what locations.

I have heard some of t...
