    Energy Bar Recommendations.

    I did used to make a mix of chopped dates, nuts and seeds. V tasty, natural and kept in the fridge a while. They were heavy on the food processor though. It stripped the gears on the wee one I had at the time, never thought to add a bit of water to loosen the mix a bit.

    Multi band radios - teach me

    I think I'd like to see an earlier opportunity to use the license abroad. I'm a button presser not a solderer and if the kit off the shelf is the same the only issue is knowing the 'local' frequency boundaries and a few bits of varying legislation. At the minute it's the only inspiration to...

    A quick reminder and sorry to harp on about it but to transmit on a Baofeng, Quansheng and to hell with it most other radios, look up your own exceptions, you need to be a licensed operator. In the UK and Northern Ireland the license is issued by OFCOM and RSGB administer the exams. I've...

    Multi band radios - teach me

    It’s a cracking little radio. I can’t remember if it comes with one of the little reel aerials, if not they’re very handy and really help with signal reception. I use them when away for work in Airbnb/hotels. Sony An-71 would be my recommendation.

    To get good range on the CB Radio freq's people are using their usual ham radio with for a 'base station' 100w plus. A chap I know throws an amplifier on top for added power. He quotes big ranges but I don't have any experience personally. Getting back to radios it all depends on what it's...
