Don't buy that crap.

If you can wait till september I'll bring you some 12 mile range jobbies from Florida. cost £50 to you

can get lesser range for cheaper if you want.

 

No offence taken

If you get a Maplins propa one make sure it's got the same frequencies as the ESC Argos cheapy ones.

Otherwise you will only have yourself to talk to.And when we say we are stopping for fuel you won't know

Saddo jackets and now walkie talkies

Check it out you baaad boyz

You homies are pozitively wack

Respect

 

Yes they are crap but are your long range jobbies the same frequencies as people are already using.If not you are going to have to refit the whole ESC.

Or is that your master plan.

Group buy on illegal radios anyone?

If you get the argos ones you'll pretty much need to be keeping each other in visual contact anyway so he'll know when you're pulling off.

 

The US units operate on these frequencies
Channels 22 channels (462.5500 MHz - 467.7125 MHz)

I bought some in the US - I think 5 mile range. The only thing is they operate on the coastguard band here, but as I'm in the midlands I doubt it will be a problem

 

You know you wanna esc polo shirt.

 

cheers for your replys.

Only wanted it for fuel stops and covoys. given esc,s are always so damm long.

Dont think ill go for the dear ones. unless i get called up..

 

I've got several different types. My latest cheapy additions were from Argos - about £30 for a pair. They're pretty good on batteries and have a half decent range (half a mile ish in built up areas).

If you intend to mainly use them to communicate with the keeper of the other handset, then I would go for the ones with lots and lots of channels. This will hopefully stop you having to listen to the ESC all day long :P

 

Smack bang in the middle of the analogue Police band; thatll go down well.....

 

Could also be very usefull for the convoys

 

I wouldn't be seen cruizin' without one - Ya know wot am sayin' - innit

Riiiiight

 

I've got these as well and have had no problems with them

 

mine are very very similar to those

 

Really ????

Could be VERY handy scanning those channels

 

40channel Hand held CB radios are what you need...
Cheap on ebay.

I wonder why

Simon. I have got these :

Was going to stick them on E-Bay. try them out on next convoy if you like then they are yours for £15. Hardly used as not got car no more.

 

See post #15

 

i just came back from florida with a set of audiovox 6 milers .they seem to have a range of a mile, in built up areas anyway. but they are fun.I WISH I HAD BOUGHT THE 12 MILE RANGE ONE I SAW NOW.might go to maplins for a nosey tomorrow.

 

You guys not got Mobiles?

Of coures a good hands free kit it recomended.

Failing that, get the passenger to answer?

 

i got the smallest hands free kit in the world from over there .which tunes in through the your car radio speakers automaticly when this device is within 3feet of your car stereo .its 3/4 the size of a matchbox and is a attached to the hearing area of your phone the clarity is unreal.the better your speakers you get a crisper sound all for £8.50 .this one tunes into 106.4 fm .its unreal how it works.

 

you can talk $hit for an entire trip without spending a penny (!), and have multiple people involved in a conversation; basically cheap. juvenile fun

Hmm. So say i'm in a convoy of 20 cars & I want to let them know i'm going into the next services for a dash & splash & I do not want them to follow me & i'll catch them up.

I have to ring 20 numbers & repeat the same message 20 times.

Unless I could get them all on "conference call".

Moby is ok for one to one,not so good for one to twenty.

ESC convoys always go "large".

Also I think everyone has missed the point of the original question.Simon wanted to know what we are using already so he can buy compatable gear.He doesn't need to know that you can get stuff that has a ten billion mile signal radius & will knock out every emergency service radio within the county.Reminds me of the AM days.I'm going all misty eyed now.
