Cheers Mike, good advice :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s easily ten years since I was last in there and I still have kit in the loft from there that I haven’t used LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Used to be a really good one on the road to Fishguard, you never knew what to expect there from one day to the next and I used to spend a fortune in there LOL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I get a Baofeng UV-5R will I also need an external antenna for it? I’m hoping to (when I pass the exam) drive up to the local hills and sit up there and use it until I can get a base station for home. Also noticed on eBay there is a UV-9R model which isn’t much more, is that a better bet...

Broch, do you know of any amateur radio groups that are local to my location by any chance? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked out his website and surprisingly didn’t even see an email address on it, very old school! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes they are usually in app purchases. The idea is you just purchase “tile credits” and then download the tiles that you want rather than having to download entire counties that you might never set foot in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use ViewRanger on a weekly basis and it appears very accurate. I have purchased a lot of tiles for it to get as accurate mapping as possible and it has never let me down to be honest with you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many thanks for the info, a lot to look into as the last time I did anything similar was when CB came to the UK in the 1980’s :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think SWMBO would murder me if I spent that much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well that’s not expensive at all! I really don’t want to spend a ton of money on hardware and then find I don’t use it so that’s not bad :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting feedback there Broch. It seemed like a real winner but if the emergency services aren’t really using it then it’s a bit of a waste of time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lois like taking the course and getting licensed is quite cheap BUT what’s the hardware going to cost me guys? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers Sara I will look into that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers Broch :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How difficult is it to take the course and pass the test to be a radio amateur? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
