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 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.........:P

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.

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.

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).

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??

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

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.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
