Hi Wayne. The normal selcall board from a 25 or 28 wont work in a 6924 because it needs a micro to code and decode etc. I guess what you're looking for is an...
Hi Jim, Yes my 6924 is working now & I have a nice braded rope antenna & a counterpoise from an old army 510 set to go with it. I have been told that a Barrett...
Wayne, cast a suspicous eye over those ex WA govt selcall units. Lots of em didn't use the Codan format that we use today. I believe the police used one kind...
Jim, Why is it "Unfortunate I sold my last couple to NZ "??? You had to sell them somewhere :-))) Nothing wrong with my cause is there ??? :-)))) Regards, ...

I've 'heard' that emergency services wont/try not to accept GPS data from most user stations for location purposes due to its variable reliability (eg accuracy...
Dave, that's pretty much what I heard. But I wonder how many thousands of dollars could be saved in remote area searches ? Cheers Jim [Non-text portions of...

Mike you'll notice that in my original post I said networks plural. At least one 4wd network currently has email facilities via HF. This is a data mode and its...
