    Davo1111 on 27/06/2021 - 23:09

    basically anything outside the cb radio frequency, and/or doesnt have the acma tick/certification

    Stuff like BaoFengs where you can program in any frequency you want, typically available for under $40.

    There are two ways that using a radio can be legal - the radio is ACMA approved or the operator is. Pretty much every radio sold through a normal retail outlet is ACMA approved. eBay and even Amazon (less commonly) tend to be where unapproved radios crop up.

    Reviews on Anaconda Amanda? Purchasers should understand that handhelds all have significant distance limitations, some more than others. If you want this as a fixed substitute then an external aerial is a good idea.

    I certainly wouldn't pay retail for this but at $70 it has a place. Caravaners use handhelds for parking aids, some people use them to be able to communicate with a base while walking, or keeping track of older kids, or travelling with others. They are NOT a substitute for emergency comms and shouldn't be relied on as a safety bandaid.

    This from AusCB for $124 delivered is a better unit overall (bigger battery, longer range aerial available etc), but it's 50%+ higher cost if that's an issue.

  For a little bit more I found the Crystal 5W UHF to be pretty good.

  Link to an example on Ebay

  Someone tell me why a camouflage radio is a good idea?

    So if you drop it in a forest you will never find it and have to buy another one?

      Tougher to find the black since we totally f'ed up our forests.

      It's a borrowed American thing, which (along with the limited battery size) makes a mockery of TRX's marketing spiel as "designed for Au and NZ conditions".

    if youre a hunter, the radio isnt bright orange?

    People who buy the radios like the colour
