Mobile Communication ?

[F Body]

I was worried about using a hands free mobile phone

[Andy]

I can see two rigs in there I/we used to own.

According to the last person we got spoken to regarding the law, use of a PTT mic isn't covered under the whole hands free kit requirments. So, as long as it's not a distraction TX is fully legal.

[Titsy]

Err OK... HAM's are an odd lot...

[ianjpage]

wow thats a bit OTT!

[art b]

what sort of a tw@t would drive that......

[HardRockCamaro]

Yup, CB's (or HAM) are exempt from the mobile phone regs.

Gonna get a CB for the Jeep.  

[Andy]

Oi oi! CB'ers are not Hams

We take an exam that's an equivalent to a physics A level, rather than buy our licenses.

[HardRockCamaro]

I know, my dad was one.

[Andy]

Callsign? Depending on how long ago it was since he was on the air, me or my dad might have worked him

[HardRockCamaro]

Can't remember dude, you're talking 20 years ago...  

I remember he had some mahoosive Kenwood receiver, then he got his Yeasu(?) Transceiver which was about £1,400 second hand, nearly 20 years ago.

He got rid of the lot when they moved to a much smaller house with virtually no garden.

Just has an old Sony SW receiver these days.

I was more a scanner man myself, would love to get a mobile scanner for the Jeep.  I used to have a 1,000 channel Radio Shack one that was the nuts but I sold it when I moved to London, got good money for it too...
