Afishionado Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Would any of you guys who know about such things have a look at #4505912030 on ebay and tell me if you think it's worth buying and at what price please? It's OK to say one can get a new one for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 a good handheld will get the coastguard in the club waters up to around 15 miles off - but that's more money than a fixed unit I am afraid. It won't keep you in contact with other club boats over the same range though. I regularily see SH units around 50 - 70 but again the gap to new isn't much I know it's easy to say but a radio is pretty valuable out there - even more so with the club being as active as it is 'cos youmight even get to hear about some fish when you're blanking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afishionado Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Mike, Don't forget my old ( tatty but works ) radio is all yours. Just needs the power lead connection sorting out. Paul I HAD forgoten thank you for reminding me. If you will put a price on it I will pay and collect it (next club meet?). As it's an older one I assume it only transmits and receives in black and white not in colour. Or will I need a colour licence for it?

Coddy Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Don't forget you can get an adaptor so that a hand held unit can use a normal VHF ariel on the boat. This will of course give you more distance Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hmmm...what do others think? I am seriously considering one as a back up - for 50 quid cant be bad??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 However, may not be CE approved, ie, imported. Then again, as long as you have you licence and the main unit on display, no one is going to do a detail search of your boat for illegal h/h.
