    ….and almost certainly illegal to use in Australia.

    • gimli on 15/07/2015 - 20:07

      how come?

      • teaBagger on 15/07/2015 - 20:36

        Because they are fully programmable to any frequency listed.

        It is illegal to transmit on any band you dont have a licence for (except UHF CB & 27MHz CB)

        These are awesome handhelds as they are a commercial equivalent with diecast chassis etc.

        I bought it to use in the 4x4 when away from the console mounted radio.

        • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 02:54

          Funny one ISN'T allowed to program these for UHF CBRS, while Hams can do so for Ham freq's.

          Exception: Life+Death Emergency situation.

          ACMA's silly inconsistency. Hobgoblins at work in Canberra?

        • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:07

          I consider that eBay page poorly written. check WIA's counterpart page.

          "Commercially made" likely means "made to & shown to meet ACMA's standards for commercial 2-way gear."

          Of course, a $33 Radio that might pass the standards test will never be pushed though the approval process, due to cost of the process.

          in a perfect world, folks would have access to community radio labs & a doc't telling its reader what specific test the radio needs to pass.

          automated test gear could be used (at modest cost) in the community radio lab, to test one:s Radio, either for use or imprt/resale.

          it, no, ACMA has to keep a few more Canberrans in work… so, even those living far from cities must pay hundre$ for gear marketed in AU.

          Practical Wisdom needed badly in this realm, IMO.

      • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:36

        The site is she, by me… click on UV-5, get a mix of radios Pofeng, Baofeng's… diff models in same photo, etc.

        An info image from another Radio's click mentions Sainsonic as if it's a brand.

        check, eg, AliExpress or GearBest or 408shop for prices, so you know what to expect.

        RadioGearLro has Yaeu (incl FT8900R)

        • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:37

          sorry. meant This deal site is SUS, by me…

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 02:50

      Licensed Hams can use 'em, but may need to lock freq's in Ham bands, last time I checked the WIA's info page on this issue. YMMV.

      Would you drive a Car without a license?

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:24

      I think they meant Speaker-Mic.

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:40

      "Bang for the Buck" isn't necessarily "Value for Money"

      But let us know if there are any issues, if/when your product arrives.

    As long as you arent an idiot with this thing, you should be fine.

    If you do transmit on other frequencies, and if you get caught, the fines are huge.

    Be responsible and nothing bad should happen.

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:20

      I tend to agree with you, in principle.

      A Chinese Radio maker like Baofeng's would be quick to fix any issues that lead to los of sales.

      ACMA rules don't let them see the commercial reality here.

      A puiblic-focused ACMA wouldn't let their costly est gear sit & collect dust (nor let their tech's skt & gt fat), ie, waiting for Baofeng's to pay big fees to get their UV6R tested.

      They'd sample & test some & publish the result!ts. if the quality of the Chinese radios is (as I would expect) sufficient to work without interfering with other services, ACMa tests would/should be sufficient to leltting these radios be used.

      if radios fiailedl a non-interference test, this info would be in Radio Inspector's hands, so that finding such a model might lead to testing it (automated procedure, remember, low cost) & if a Radio FAILS in that test only tHEn apply the big fee.

      AU jist can't meet the Chinese competition, so it subtly tries to suppress it,nrather than putting the gear we've paid for to use in ways that would put useful Comms tools into the hands of folks who might Need it someday.

      ACMA protects the market vendors who paid its testing/approval fees.

  • ChrisLevo on 16/07/2015 - 08:50

    Perfect for the Amateur 2m and 70cm bands.

    I have a Quansheng version, performs as well as the Kenwood equivalent, a third of the price and all Kenwood accessories fit.

    Heaven help Icom/Yaesu/Kenwood if these guys enter the HF market!

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:23

      They're doing so, step by step. TYT TH9800 (described to be a clone of Yaesu's FT8900R, by some) covers the 10 meter Ham band… in the HF part of the radio spectrum.

  • OldBugger on 16/07/2015 - 10:46

    Good price. Not many reviews yet on this model however these boafeng/pofung radios are great. I got two UV-82s for the same price based on the solid reviews over the UV5R. Plenty on eBay too. Just hook it up to the computer and upload the Aussie channels (takes seconds) and remove the specific channels (eg. emergency 5 & 35).

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 09:05

      So - what? - you'll never need an Emergency Channel?!?

      ACMA's silly rules get people to Suggest silly actions like this, IMO.

      Better to Label these channels Emerg. Instead of CH 5, etc. So you don't find yourself without at least a chance of getting help, in case you're near someone who scans all channels or monitors 5 & 35.

      • OldBugger on 18/07/2015 - 16:01

        you'll never need an Emergency Channel?!?

        No. The range doesn't extend past my boundaries. If I do find myself stuck under the tractor I would be calling home and not wasting time with channels no one can hear me on. Plus my little boy sometimes finds the bloody thing. He prefers it to any toy he has. So to play it safe, I would rather him not accidentally slobber into channels 5 & 35 in the off chance an emergency worker is in my paddock.

        • IVI on 19/07/2015 - 01:04

          I see your point. Tractor needs a mobile radio, then.
          But as you seem to have cell coverage, maybe not.

          Say, if your son is intrigued by a handheld radio, maybe take him to a local Ham Radio club when a suitable topic topic is to be discussed.

          If he's impressed by a handheld than can hear passing
          tourists & local businesses, etc., imagine how wide
          his eyes & smile would be if he could fish up a 2-way
          conversation between a nearby school group & the Space
          Station.

          At least, that's the kind of expression I saw at 1992's
          Camp Quality, in the Adelaide Hills, eg, as kids heard
          one of their number chatting with a Russian cosmonaut,
          passing overhead. (Cf story in Feb.1992 Amateur Radio;
          that issue hasn't yet gone up on the web site that has
          been publishing past years' issues, but if your son
          likes to read about radios, etc. ARMag.vk6uu.id.au may be of interest to him.)

          And - hey - if your son ever became a ham, he might
          persuade you to get a Ham license… It wouldn't be
          the first tractor to be put on-the-air on Ham freq's,
          if you put yours on. ;-) But you might enjoy plough-
          ing more in conversation with Hams from other places
          near or far from your fields, if you had, say, a TYT
          TH-9800 (quad band) + Diamond CR8900 quad band ant.
          & maybe a comfortable, noise-reducing, over-ear set
          of headphones on your tractor, fist to listen to any
          Hams you find on repeaters that can hear you -or-
          others "activating a summit" somewhere nearby -or-
          skipping-into your area from much farther afield,
          when th ionosphere decides to help Hams get better
          range once in a while, like on 27 MHz CB…

          That radio could let you listen to Firies, et al.
          still using VHF, eg, at nearby firegrounds. Now,
          that's my idea of "the latest news" from a nearby
          fireground.:-) May you never be so near to a fire.

          PS See a post on a cheap APRS radio, that can tell
          you (or family at the house) where your tractor is.

          Of course, if your smartphone does that, you have
          that function there, for free. With a Ham license,
          you could access repeaters - all over the world -
          for both Transmit & Receive - with an app. :-)

    • ShipShapeRC on 17/07/2015 - 23:16

      Do you like the UV-82? I have been on the edge of buying a set for about a year. Is the 2 PTT buttons a useful feature or just another spec to go 'cool' at?

      • OldBugger on 18/07/2015 - 15:46

        I work on a farm and keep one in the house always on charge and another in the ute so I can communicate while out in the paddock. The dual PTT comes in handy when I want to communicate to the folks on the top block who have their own pair of radios (who, btw, bought their 3Ws locally for 4x the price). I can contact the folks on their channel without interrupting my wife at my house, and visa versa.

        Lots of reviews online, which is handy. Personally I like the old style dial at the top to turn on/off and control volume. So far it has been rock solid. I would like bigger PTT buttons though.

        • ShipShapeRC on 18/07/2015 - 21:28

          Thanks for the info. I'll get them I think. Have you tried any of the non-2 PTT accessories on it, like the fbi earpiece? Just curious if the single PTT accessories work on the dual PPT model?

        • OldBugger on 21/07/2015 - 09:25

          @ShipShapeRC: not yet. There is a review of using the earpiece on you tube somewhere indicating it is a bit difficult using the dual ptt functions with it.

  • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:45

    Some of the better gear is showing up on Ham review sites… eHam.net has the BEST reviews I've found, & they keep all reviews ('cause Hams keep & Swap/sell their radio grear)

    Ham radio is - like OzB - a self-help Community, but you get to near each other's voices & meet at local Clubs. so, there's a face-to-face Social side that OzB seems to lack IMO.

  • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 03:57

    www.RadioOddity.com has some new (non-2-way) gear of interest. APRS tracker, Sat.finder, etc. more info on some of the deal site's gear (could deal site have borrowed photos from RadioOddity.

    PS must have www. for RadioOddity

    • IVI on 17/07/2015 - 04:15

      AP510 is worth a look… see reviews & HowTo's on YouTube.

      Hams only… possibly needs a Ham License ABOVE the entry-level Foundation Class License.
