Cheers Alick :-D The Motorolla radios you talked about ARE the ones my supervisor has! So, it looks like we'll have to have a play with the channels to find the right one to talk to each other! I've actually thought about going to do the Radio License test in town, but it seems like an...

Great info guys :-D It's just that we are looking into using them on the D of E Gold final, which will be on the Knoydart peninsula of Scotland. I have two sets of the public radios - 4 Binatone and 2 Cobra, but I want to use them with our supervisors' Motorolla TalkAbout ones. Is there a...

I understand your trust in the Vulcan, it's a nice piece of kit. But for a student such as myself, £160 is just a Bit too much! Do you know of anywhere that do it cheaper? (I know, a silly question...!) Si :-D

I've been hanging my nose over these since I saw them at the Outdoors Show last week, and are wondering how good they actually are? Do any of you guys own any of them at all? If so, what are they like? Any info would be great :-D Si

Hi guys :-D I'm a newbie here, but I must say that the Outdoors Show was FANTASTIC!!!!!! I haven't been before, and I know how much I've missed out on now! Were any of you the guys out by the Land Rover Challenge area by any chance? I really didn't have enough time to take a good look...

Have a look on ebay, I`ve seen Berghaus Cyclops Roc (80 odd litres I think) on there. Not as big as a Vulcan but just as well made. I bought one at a car boot years back, it has some blokes Army name on it and has been very well used - but still does the job :-) I have the Vulcan and...
