I second to that. Can somebody please confirm the details where the guys from Brisbane are going to meet up?

Also, my friends got a little toyota starlet who's interested in coming. Do you guys mind if he brings up the rear???

I'll probably pick up a CB radio sometime next week. Any recommendations for under $100?

well ill let the brisbane guys organise the meet up there but as a sugestion maybe a meet up at springwood, if you leave there by 6:00pm it should make great timing for you to get down here.

vak82 - your friend in the starlet is more than welcome to come. I think the most popular UHF radios are the uniden, ours cost around $100 and has a 5km range, most are 3km. Just go check out tandy or dicky smith.

vak82, thanks for the invite dude, if all goes well my little toyota should me there on friday night.

Also for those that are looking for a handheld CB, Jaycar Electronics does some no-frills units for cheap, even better, I've got a trade account with the supplier of Jaycar, so I get these at a fraction of the cost.

Here is the site...

http://www1.electusdistribution.com.au/

do a search for \"CB UHF\"

DC1010 $23.57 (RRP: $34.95)
DC1025 $31.87 (RRP: $49.95)
DC1028 $31.87 (RRP: $49.95)
DC1040 $56.96 (RRP: $89.00)

DC-1036 $9.58 (RRP: $14.95) (Incar cigarette-socket charger)

SB-1723 $ 1.90 (RRP: $ 3.50) (Rechargable AAA)

The RRP is what you'd expect to pay at your local Jaycar store.

I'm gonna go for DC1040 myself....nice cheap 8k unit.

Anyway, let me know if ya keen so I can setup a group buy.

Cheers
Minh

Our discussions re UHF units has concluded that a model with at least 2 Watts is preferred for runs. It will be interesting to test the Sub 2 Watt Units on Friday night. The one I scored is 5 Watts and came with a high gain antenna too. The monitor difference between the standard rubber ducky antenna and the helical optional one is astounding. I get much better reception... Don't know about output yet, havent tested that.

I'd also like to get some night shots of the cars on Friday. So could the \"5\" owners wash them first please?? LOL

Cheers

OK.. I scored

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... %3AIT&rd=1

Cheap.

But the one that I looked at long and hard was this one:-

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNIDEN-UH064SX-1 ... dZViewItem

They seem to put a new one up every few days and they sell for around $125 Plus post. I didnt manage to snaffle one in about 4 attempts before the 5 watter came along.

Its got all the extra bits too. If you can get that one wholesale, I'd grab one.

Cheers

Wayne

I'm interested, but what Brisbanites are going? Finishing work at 5:00, getting home at 5:40ish and then getting from North Brisbane down the M1 to Mudgeeraba through Brisbane + M1 traffic before 7 is a big ask.
