I've got the Uniden UH040XR (the $99 job from DSE) and it works fine. I decided to tune in this arvo on the way home from work, and got a strong signal (obviously from someone probably at home with a nice big aerial and good output) but couldn't hear the guy talking back to him. I was going down Church St in Nth Parra, right near DSE, as a matter of co-incidence.

Anyway, I've had it since just before the Central Coast meet (thru Terrigal, the Entrance, etc) back whenever, and it was pretty damned handy. I use it mostly when I'm heading up that way (F3 Northbound) to go and visit my cousin (blukie from SDU) who lives a bit past Lake Munmorah, and I think he uses it (he has one too) just about every other day on his way to and from work right near most of you Nth Sydney guys (and girls?)...

Speaking of batteries, I had some dodgy cheapo ones in there, and although I hardly use it (not much point in and around Parramatta), they're finally up for replacement.

*** ATTENTION ***

Please try and consider the attached channel allocations when picking channels to talk on. It bothers me slightly every time someone suggests chatting on channel 33, as 33 is a repeater channel for channel 3. If you're near the channel 3 repeater your conversation will be heard over a much wider distance than intended (and you won't benefit from the repeater, it'll simply annoy other CBers).

this has been a public service announcement because I am anal retentive.

Jeez Marsss, you would have had to be using some seriously heavy duty earth moving equipment to dig up such an old thread... Did you discover any diamonds or dinosaurs while you were down there?

Now why would you ban me if there's information on here that is clearly of interest.. (whores swarmed to it)

Apart from this.. we can see old posting styles from the old schoolers or should i say... ex-whores who are now basically over it, and just watch...

so... i've recovered two important points..

Information

Entertainment

that..

is all.

Sorry to bring this up again...

More info:

http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_1265

There are specific channels in the two CB radio bands available for use in an emergency. These are channel 9 (27.065 MHz) in the HF band and channels 5/35 (476.525/477.275 MHz) in the UHF band.

These channels are designated for emergency messages only and, under the class licence, must not be used for other purposes

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
