Cro Flower Power Lifetime Members 6,114 Member For: 22y 1m 20d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/09/05 08:33 AM Share Posted 22/09/05 08:33 AM With the up and comming Snowy cruise, and the popularity of CB radio's on all our other cruises. I'll be asking my supplier if he will do an even bigger discount for a massive group buy. I'm not going to bother with anything less than a 2watt unit as they are completely useless on cruises. Entry Level: Occasional cruiser? Like to listen more than be heard 100% of the time? Uniden UH-044XR 2watt [url="http://dseau.resultspage.com/search.php?p=R&srid=S2%2d3&lbc=dseau&w=uh%2d044&url=http:/%2fwww%2edse%2ecom%2eau%2fcgi%2dbin%2fdse%2estorefront%2f%5fsessionid%5f%2fProduct%2fView%2fD1771&rk=2&uid=354551825&sid=2&ts=p2&rsc=Aob69luqd1koqGpm&sessionid=43326a5e0574cf782740c0a87f9c0716&method=and"]Dick Smith Link (disregard price)[/url] At the moment I can get this radio for $140.

Like the extra features of an in-car unit? Want to play around with external aerials to get the best possible range? Never have the need to charge it? Runs from car's power? Want a remote face to fit nicely in the Console? Want a scanner to listen to Police, Fire, Ambo's, etc..?

Once I find out how many people are interested, I will enquire to see how much extra I can get off. At a guess I'd say an extra $10 of each unit, and $5 for each accessory. Reciepts will be given, all purchases will be made from: [url="http://www.wattscom.com.au/"]http://www.wattscom.com.au/[/url] Shipping interstate will not be an issue. So who is interested, and in what radio+accessories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do these need to be hardwired??? Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a hand held 5 watt unit and it works well, and if you like you can add an external aerial to increase the range. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
