Rob,

No problem. Will be posting him a complete harness tomorrow. Good luck!

Thanks for you'r help Rob. Would it be very difficult to install a fixed resister onto or into the volume control. A fix volume is not idel but I would install one if it ment I could use my radio again that would be great. Thanks again mate I have a used volume pot for the GP900. It was from an MTS...

Oh, so the new channels are receive only? The new channels are transmit also. No existing radios support the new CB channels. i have a benelec land mobile unit in my car, i noticed it has the option of 25hz/12.5hz spacing, would this not mean it supports the new channels? The Benelec radios are Ver...

I am open to reasonable offers on a Vertex VX426 UHF handheld. In original box with all factory supplied accessories. Also supplied is the software that permits programming of PMR channels between 450 - 490 MHz band. It has all CB channels, plus 128 additional channels for the PMR. Russell email: ru...

It's been a real trip back in time going through this stuff. The highlight would have to be a copy of a circa-1986 publication called 'Australian Scanner's World', published by the old Electronics Today International magazine. What you said before is true, there were far more sellers of scanning ge...

Looking at the old magazines, the other thing you notice is the number of retailers who were in business back then, advertising scanners, amateur gear, ant...

I'm moving house, but don't want to take too much paper with me so I've been scanning some scanning-related articles (now that's a confusing statement but you know what I mean) I found in some old Amateur Radio Action, CB Action, Radio and Communications and Radiomag magazines from the late 80s, th...

Could these be they?

About 30 cm long and 30mm thick?

Yes work well. Nothing like a mob mentality.

Rusty, Fastlane's comment is accurate. As a forum that promotes responsible radio use, it's an important point to make. It would certainly be unfortunate if someone were to purchase a radio, use it incorrectly and suffer some legal consequences. By the same token, the radio could be useful for some...

Thank you. Now I am sure you could find a little old lady that needs help crossing the road.
