Thank's Rob ... I have been trying to find that .pdf document for a while ... and I was wondering whether they update it every so often ? Is it the latest ?

Well as i said on my first post on this site, I am 16, but believe me, a lot more mature than most 16 year olds in my year. I am i old enough to actually get a license? and if so, can i do the test on my PC at home? Yeah ... definitely ... there is no age restriction in getting an Amateur Radio Lic...

I know right! very curious, I am kinda merging out of the CB radio faze now, the prices are too high and i think that they are too short of a talk range for the money, e.g. i got them LXT 118 from USA for $31 including shipping, they are normally $20, and they go 18 miles. And they're like 0.5 watt...

so i was wondering, if someone uses a CB radio from America, and it is using a different frequency, (not 476-477mhz), but not a frequency that anyone in the area uses, no police, no companies and no emergency channels etc. Then who would report them, and how the hell does the technology work that a...

Just off topic, does anyone know any sites (preferably in china) where I can buy multiple cool gadgets and get them all shipped in one package? Little cool, working cheap gadgets? I already know about: alibaba, dhgate, c2offer, eBay- obviously and yeah. If there are any cool little gadgets on them ...

That GME handheld CB looks good and high quality ... but ... Not cheap But I guess you will get what you've paid for ...

For your information ... This was taken a few months ago somewhere in Perth ... They just go around with vehicle like that scanning stuff ...

How about this (from the same shop) ? Did I miss anything in there that's not legal ? http://www.409shop.com/409shop_product.php?id=102826 Ron, that's not a CB. Have a closer look at the image. It's a Feidaxin FD-450A just like this one . It has just been pre-programmed. It's just like all the othe...

Thanks mate, so if i were to get a license i could use the CB on any channel, within the frequency of the chosen license? With CB ... You can just use the ACMA approved CB transceiver right away with out any exams or license ... because the ACMA approved CB transceiver is already licensed under cla...

Well i received it today, literally just then and ALL the other buyers in Australia said they use them between the 2 CB radios and have had no worries, for about 5 years. But i AM taking all you's knowledge and really am not going to use these, thank you for your help. Also i want to know, how old ...

I bought it from USA, as I said, so will it be illegal to use in WA, or illegal just to import it? It's on it's way now, so will it be stopped by customs? Yes, it is both illegal to use or import it to Australia ( not just WA ) ... Will it be stopped by customs ? Hmmmm .... :-k .... I doubt it ....

I stopped at Cocklebiddy on the Nullarbor one summer evening. I couldn't find a spot on the FM band that was empty. Some frequencies had multiple stations. Cocklebiddy is about 1100 km from Perth! I reckon I was receiving every Perth and regional station for 1500 km away. The next morning there was...

A tech's review According to the person who reviewed it .... The verdict The good: user friendly design, excellent receiver, good audio on both RX and TX. The bad: Harmonic suppression disappointing. Rotary encoders are unreliable. Bottom line: this radio still needs some work. The KG-UV920R isn’t ...
