Re: Need to test my new baofeng
Might be a trap for the unwary
Maybe Ofcom is starting a purge of norty stations an Gateshead is the epicentre........the growing army of Ofcom df vans will spread out an rid the country of illegal RF, dodgy radios an beetroot....could be messy....

Re: Need to test my new baofeng
I think this problem of cheep chineese handhelds being used willy nilly on HF frequencys is going to get much worse .
Wont be long before they are talking to Port shipping controlls or god fobid Air traffic controllers .

Re: Need to test my new baofeng
News to me a cheapo Baofeng doing HF or being able to 'do' AM to the ATC bods....
Most of the cheapo VHF ones can work marine channels... But Ebay is full of cheapo dedicated marine radios anyway regardless of the Baofeng invasion!

Re: Need to test my new baofeng
Its ok untill they start messing on the fireground freqs, i enjoy hearing the fire service but think they will be a lot better off with some digital gear. I pick a lot of the BF-888 default freqs up in my area and its mostly kids.

Re: Need to test my new baofeng
to be honest do some homework and talk on the pmr 446 frequencys rather than any frequency
one day you might want to chat on a frequency that you not familiar with and could be the coastguard , fire etc
pmr446 is decent enough for a test and legalish
PMR Frequencies
Channel Frequency in MHz
1 446.00625
2 446.01875
3 446.03125
4 446.04375
5 446.05625
6 446.06875
7 446.08125
8 446.09375

Re: Need to test my new baofeng
So presumably you haven't got a callsign Gav? - I heard a few tentative keyers on 145.500.gavingateshead wrote:No just a random frequency if not tonight I will be on 145.500 if any can try and speak to me cheers
If you have a legit callsign, Gav I'm sure there are people willing to talk to you. However random freq on 410mhz with the callsign you gave doesn't look promising.
