Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / October 2005Radio for offroad in Aus?
Guys, Looking to make the trip across that stretch of sand we call the Nullabour in the next couple of weeks, as well as heading offroad in the Coorong in SA on the way - in your opinion what's the most suitable option as far as radios are concerned (i.e. UHF?) and why? Thanks! Jas. UHF if you want to communicate with trucks etc. HF if you want the ultimate security and 99.9999999999999999% garantee you will get hold of someone. Jason,UHF should do you just fine. Unless of course you are up to your eyeballs in trouble, there's no phone coverage and no UHF activity, and then you are going to curse me. Cheers Jim > Guys, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Jas. http://www.ozebiz.com.au/beacon/kti_rb3.html Get an ELT as well I fly, ski and 4WD with one. www.mals.net > Jason,UHF should do you just fine.

The new 400meg ones are even more accurate, and can be programmed with your details. I would of recommended HF but I have a vested interest :) Cheers Jim http://home.iprimus.com.au/jimshire/ > http://www.ozebiz.com.au/beacon/kti_rb3.html > > Get an ELT as well I fly, ski and 4WD with one. > I would of recommended HF but I have a vested interest :) I've just had to do a quick dash up the cape. The number of tourists is staggering. Standing on the roof of your broken down vehicle and bellowing would do the trick. Cept they'd never hear it over the CD and a/c. Never mind a radio, take some cartridge paper and a nikko. Tony Smith |
