andylaurence 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 What are the best radios to get then guys?cheers' date='Pete[/quote']Anything PMR446 will do. Ebay and Maplin are good sources. I bought four Motorola units with a couple of docking stations for charging. You should get a pair for under £30 quite easily. These are pretty feature rich units, but these are great value!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Cheers' date=' any I should avoid? will pop up macro later...[/quote']Dunno, TBH. Useful features are a docking station or socket for charging, included batteries (usually AAA but could be proprietry), the extra sub-channels (there's 8 main channels that are split into numerous other channels), voice activation (and adjustability of this for your stripped out car or quiet Maybach), and roger beeps. The roger beep is useful as it transmits a beep when you release the talk button. This lets everyone know you've stopped wittering on!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurence 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 but if i bring the wii and it gets broke/nicked then ill have me nuts choppedgood point well made ;-) does your little telly a) work in DE? have a video out? There's a GP Sunday morning.GP in the morning? Best bet is a sky receiver. Maplin have a portable satellite receiver on offer for £80 at the moment. Plug that into your projector and a pair of speakers for a proper ITV-spec broadcast. Being the Malaysian GP, it'll be early but that's good for me as I need to be at rent-racecar.de for 08:00 at the very latest!Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

SeaDemon advises against binatone. If you already have some AAA NiMH consider just getting the radios, as Andy said Ebay is the place for 'incomplete' sets. I'm going to have my hi-speed charger which will recharge the batteries quicker than a cradle. Link to post Share on other sites
