Group buy of UHF radio's

[NismoGirl]

If I were you I would stick with the Uniden. They have a good name and the whole time I've had radios (AM and UHF) I've always had a uniden and never anything wrong.

Those digitalk ones look a bit dodgy. We were looking at them but decided to go with uniden.

Everyone that we cruise with has either got the $99 uniden or a more powerful base in their cars.

We have both which comes in handy when trying to lsiten to the scanner and talk to the cruise.

I'll be in for whatever everyone decides - that way I don't have to think.

Keep me posted.

Same same..

Anyone know who else supplies them besides DSE? Maybe we

should try looking at CB stores?

Yeh Count me in.

I can either pay in cash or Visa... I dont really mind what the price is.

Birty.... dont make me hurt you :uh-huh:

Sounds like future cruises will be awesome with almost everyone being on the CB's

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing some stupid headphones like a telemarketer whilst I'm cruising...

He he he.. I use a headset at work all the time (nope, I'm not on a call centre !!) and they are great. Takes a while to get used to them but they are great.

You can be talking on the phone while your picking your nose and scratching your nads at the sametime !!!

Ahhhhh, the bliss.........

There's a DSE store close by me (and I used to work at DSE many many moons ago), so I'll stop in there and have a chat to them and see what can be done if we buy say... 10+ of them.

DOH' DOH' should have waited. Bought the $99 Uniden the other day from DSE. Couldn't wait had to get one shtraight away, would have been handy on the sunday cruise, like jay95R33 said the drive home was a bit quite didn't know what was goin' on back there and who was who.

Definatelly the way to go, specially on cruise's.

[Jay95R33]

Just a quick update.

I dropped into DSE to have a chat.

If you guys buy more than 5 units the price will drop to $93 each. If getting more than 10 they sugested that you contact the Sydney head office directly to get a better deal. You might be able to get a few more bucks off each, but I really don't think it will be a heap off.

this just in

DSE are a rip. everything there is expensive. i might drop by some smaller shops on the weekend see what we can do. Even better why dont we get in touch with UNIDEN?

[XrSiSt]

Can we have some hands up on who wants one so we can get

some numbers?

LAST DAY WILL BE FRIDAY FOR NUMBERS!

Once we have some numbers, we can then start some

negotiations and work out a price.

Hey people, me and Jay just ordered two of the Digitalk ones with headsets.

They'll be here by Thursday, so we'll let you know how they go.

I've been looking at the different models, and the Digitalk ones are roughly equiv. to the Uniden 042 model, which is pretty good for about half the price.

You can get them in Jaycar or Strathfield shops for $79 if you're interested, but Strathfield doesn't have the headsets.

The guy in WA (where we ordered ours from) said he could do an even better price for 10 or more units, so he might be worth calling for group buys (he also has the Uniden ones cheaper than Dick Smith, etc).

LOL

who cares about a $5 saving ay. he he

[51jay]

Yep not worth the hassle I got the Uniden 042 in case I want to go hands free. I also got one of the $39 speaker/mikes for $10. It's a special offer on now at DSE when you buy the 040 model

Are we going to be using Channel 33 for Skyline stuff??

hell yeah. it's so obvious we should be using that channel.

Just make sure there aren't any repeaters on channel 33 in your area.

Repeaters use the 1-10 channels to transmit on, and the 31-40 channels to receive on.

But I think for these little handhelds you'll be right, unless your within 4-5km of one.

I object i say we use channel 32

i could seatle for 34
