Yup, I'll have that! Will pay immediately if you PM with details but I'd be happy if you left it a week or so to post. Travelling.

I'm getting it again.

Most of the analogue FM Baofeng radios available on Chinese sites will give you marine Ch. 16. MRTs are largely digital these days. As a caveat, using one on that frequency outside of a genuine life or death emergency is likely to put you in as much legal difficulty as the smoke/flare. Edit -...

I'll take those if you still have them!

I can see this ending messily chez nous.

I have several of the little manual espresso pumps that come from Chinese aggregate sites. Possibly a bit more 'faffy' than some of the other solutions here but it does make a reasonably good short, strong shot which you can then make long if you prefer. The latest one takes both ground and one...

I've always been a bit dubious about homemade mobile antennas. I can be a bit dubious about the ones I've purchased TBH!

I asked and it appears that a standard 340 clone (I always had Audiolines) draws a little under 5 amps on transmit, so you shouldn't have any issues. The radios I've been using for a while now draw *ahem* considerably more, so it can cause problems.

Just watch your fuse rating running off the lighter socket.

Same set as the Uniden Uniace 100 or the Audioline 340. Considered by many (self included) to be one of the best 27/81 sets made, if somewhat basic.

I remember something similar from way, way back. Possibly a recipe in SWAT magazine.

Almost certainly membership of an appropriate club or organisation and regular participation in their events. The consultation has already happened. The resulting legislation is imminent.

Sometimes. You can still hold handguns here, but all airguns are FAC. In this instance I think we'll probably follow England & Wales, but things can be surprising, we have repeatedly refused to ban hunting with hounds for instance.

Three extremely expensive bows and a rake of spare parts purchased this week, they'll all be stolen next week.
