Hand held radios

[trentvy]

gday all

My mate is registered on the SAU forums and he explained that they are doing a bulk buy in hand held walkie talkies. Good for car cruises. anyway I was thinking its a good idea and that maybe we could do the same thing. If enough people wanted to buy one, surely we could organise a bulk buy. let me know what you think or if its just stupid.

its a great idea, but its best to do it in you own state.
it would be to hard to orginise to deliver to every state and there would be extra postage.

i heard its legal in N.S.W even for P platers to use them, is it legal to use the built in ones in those states?

i dont think people care its illegal, its just good to keep informed on the status of where they are and cops are ahead!

Hand helds are not illegal to use in WA while driving. They are not a phone and only hand held phones are illegal to use while driving.

It's totally legal to use a UHF radio device that's fixed to your car, with a handheld talking piece. (the sort with a receiver, aerial, and cord handset). I'm not sure about the self-contained portable handheld numbers. Truckies use them for a job. We used to use them on Vic Chapter cruises back when petrol was cheaper haha I still have a couple lying around.

i have a handheld with a mic piece attachment, (like a base unit) in my car anyway

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

What's the point of a bulk buy? You can pick them up for under $40 these days. Low power ones, but they're perfect for a cruise.
