Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 All, I have just bought a box of 6 radios. 3 from the Skycar Trip (as mentioned before) and 3 from the Mission Everest Expedition. Offers in excess of £60 per Radio works for me. I will bring them to the flag pole, they will be sold on a first come first serve.

Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I know the three Skycar ones are 2 meter. I am not sure what the Everest ones are yet. But I will have them here soon enough. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirmal Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'll take one if they are 2m radios of a reputable brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdoc Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'll take one too, depending on make. I'm really looking for the 2m/airband Yaessu XR7 but money doesn't grow on trees.... message me when they are in. FlyingDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cageuk Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I would be interested in an airband radio if they are one of the approved ones! Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_P Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I would be interested in an airband radio if they are one of the approved ones!Cheers Mark Mark, I think that you'll find that all the 'approved' (if by that you mean have CAA type approval for installation in an aircraft) sets, are older variants. Specifically the older ICOM sets have approval, but ICOM themselves have decided not to pursue type approval as it is too costly for the limited marke, on their current and future models (and that's from the ICOM UK MD). That said, as long as you operate an airband in the correct manner, I doubt anyone will ever concern themselves with whether it has type approval. The same goes for whether an individual has his FRTL. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
