[QUOTE="Cranky Emu, post: 648068, member: 10949"] Just as a heads up for anyone looking at a 27MHz Hand-held whilst I know someone here will argue the point - they are useless to say the least. Hungry on batteries, range is very poor even on sideband, they are heavy, the antenna supplied is a dud - base loaded quarter wave, you would get better performance using a telescopic whip 1M long, but then it's a bit of a handful. The receiver is most of these are very poor performance wise as well. As for the 'mentioned' mod, if you go transmitting on Amateur bands (which is what the mod mostly covers) then you will draw a lot of unwanted attention to yourself and potentially a visit from the ACMA.
