that is correct.

the $99 is probably what most of us have and being a uniden, there is accesories such as external speaker etc for it.

speaking of 33's - i saw a couple of nice ones yesterday in blacktown.....

white S2 with a kit some big wheels, plates were RNAMUK or something like that... and a nice maroon one with the plates NOS200 or somerthing, had a GT-R wing and i forget the kit

How come you sit up in the repeater channels ??

(31 to 38) - It's technically illegal, but more so, it pisses others off...

Repeater Output - Channels 1 to 8 inclusive,

Repeater Input - Channels 31 to 38 inclusive.

--------------------------------------------------------------

How do you work through a repeater?.

All modern UHF CB transceivers have the function of being able to select duplex on channels 1 to 8. What this does is configure the transceiver to transmit on a channel 30 channels higher in frequency (called the repeater offset), every time you press your microphone button to transmit, but still receive on the channel you have selected. Therein lies the clue to the way repeaters operate - receiving your transmissions on the higher frequency, say in the case of a channel 4 repeater, channel 34, and retransmitting your transmission on the lower frequency, channel 4, so that all transceivers tuned to channel 4 in the footprint of the repeater will hear your transmission, as relayed from the repeater.

The downside of repeaters is that they tend to attract the "moronic" element due to their large coverage area. As the Authorities seem little interested to contribute to any policing of the band, it is largely up to the UHF operators to conduct themselves in a proper manner on the air and in doing so set a good example to others. There will always be that rebel element who, when behind the anonymity of a microphone cause trouble. Just remember that to respond to these individuals is to reinforce their very existence. Getting responses back can only increase their satisfaction of what they do. So the moral of the story is DO NOT RESPOND. It is the only weapon the responsible operator has of maintaining some degree of control over the quality of the UHF CB band.

easy...

you talk on chanels 1-8

and you listen on channels 30-38

eg. you talk on channel 4

you listen on channel 34

Question to South (it's PL97 here :mad: ):

Can you still use this function if you are outside of the range of a repeater? Do you need a repeater station setup inorder to use the duplex function?

so does that mean you can't "listen" on channel's 1-8 ? ;)

how are you suppose to have a decent converstion?

you'd say something on channel 4 for instance, and then switch to channel 34 for the response, then switch back?! :D

I think the unit transmitt on 4 and receives on 34 automatically franks. :mad:

EDIT: shoulr be other way around...receive on ch4 and send via ch 34 :D

I still don get it ???

If you are on Ch4 do you have to switch to Ch34 to Listen ?? That sounds off.

Sounds like we need to change to Ch RB_25_DET (Channel 25) for the standard UHF channel now......

:mad:

ok I *think* this is how it works if your unit supports duplex :mad:

- you are on ch4 and have setup to use duplex mode.

- you press the button to talk and the unit sends your voice over as ch34 to the repeater (4 + 30 = 34 wow)

- repeater receives your signal and broadcast it back out as ch4

- everyone on ch4 hears your voice

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
