two way radio ?

[treeman]

just thought now ---------------- even if I am licenced VHF operator, the rest of the guys are not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can a simple 2 way radio buy be so complicated ?

[mahomedy13]

Have used the Icoms a lot, between ground teams and helicopters.

Must say, they work really well. Battery life us enough for the day, amd range is also great.

VHF though

Soooo, its 3 days later and I am still battling just to buy a radio set from SATLEC - what a f'up !
Spoke to Dave, gave him 2 email providers to use, he would email me. Next day I phone in rather pissed off, speak to Greg, - okay, he will email me.
Get a email with a price and listing what they need from me to quote me - FFS ! Sen price and banking details. I respond with their wants and a question, that was yesterday.
I phone in again at lunch time, back to Dave, ask my question, pleaded for a quote or invoice or what ever so I can buy two radios - he will email me now.
Business has closed today and still no response/answer.
Who runs that circus, SATLEC ?

Baofeng werk baie goed teen n baie goeie prys, ek sal nie sommer iets anders koop nie, nie in dieselfde prysklas nie.

*********************************
En as jy nie te veel worry tussen so 1500 - 1900 per radio, is that kinda money that kind of better ? Is a R1500 radio worth it better than the R800 for 4 radio's better ?

Ons het al zartek en vratvark gebruik, ook vir op die plaas en kan nie sleg praat van vratvark nie, maar vir n derde of selfs nog goedkoper doen die baofeng presies dieselfde. Die baofeng is nie so gebou soos die vratvark nie, maar doen die werk en volgens my vang hulle niks slegter op nie.

Ons het seker al 16 van die radios gekoop en almal het gewerk. Daar het al n charger gebreek en twee of drie se antennas het afgebreek, maar die radios werk nogsteeds. Onthou die werkers gaan hulle gebruik en laat val en rof werk met hulle, sal nie die duurste radio vir hulle wil gee nie.

Die batterye hou ook goed, kon nognie fout daar vind nie.

Nee ek glo nie die R1500 plus radios is beter as die baofeng nie, dalk net meer duursaam, sterker gebou.

jy praat baie waar Danie,ek het vratvark/krimpavark radios ook,maar gebruik hulle gladnie meer nie,gebruik net die Baofeng

Het met 'n vriend gesels oor die verskillende radios. Baofeng is verbied deur Icasa synde dit nie frekwensie getrou is nie. Die uitsendings vloei dus oor na aanliggende frekwensie bande en veroorsaak dus steurnisse op nabye radiogebruikers. Daar is groot boetes vir sulke steurnisse.

Dink julle nou regtig die ouens gaan met hul bakkie tussen plase rond ry en die ouens met hul R499 China radios soek wat met hul werkers praat?

[Giepie]

Die mense wie se frekwensies gesteur word gaan begin kla, of self die skuldiges soek. Daardie mense betaal vir hulle en is "heilig" daaroor. Hulle sal by ICAS 'n klag gaan lê. Maak nie vir my saak of ICASA dit gaan ondersoek nie, dit gaan vir my oor die beginsel of houding om bewustelik te oortree.

[Dumbluck]

My marine VHF spectrum lisensie het seker 3 maande gevat om gefinaliseer te raak, ek dink nie daar gaan baie by ICASA aan nie. Ek dink nie hulle het die voete op die grond om elke ou met 'n antenna op sy bakkie af te trek of rond te ry met scanners en ouens probeer vang nie.

Soos Giepie sê as iemand gaan kla oor ongemagtigde gebruik is dit dalk 'n ander storie, as ICASA die dag lus is om te werk, kom hulle met die hele staatskas se begroting om jou te vang.

Vir R200 'n jaar print ek my "lisensie" vir my VHF mobiles en handhelds van LCCSA se website af en my kant is skoon. (vir my persoonlike gebruik)

As ek 'n boer was of andersins die radios vir my besigheid gebruik het sou ek ma veilig gespeel het en met wettige radios werk, die boetes is nie grappies nie.

Elke radio sonder 'n ICASA sticker is onwettig, enige UHF teen meer as 0.5w is nie license free nie en het 'n ICASA lisensie nodig.
