  3. I agree with allot of the comments here mate. The way we communicate has moved on in the last 40 years. In the 70's phone calls were expensive so radio was a cheap way to communicate. Now u can talk to and see people anywhere in the world for free from a device u can carry in your pocket. Its a sad fact that radio is an outdated form of communication. Its only advantage is that its instent u press a butten and u can be heard speaking u dont have to wait for some one to answer a call. So for emergency use its still the best solution. I will always have a radio i love it and if its in your blood its there for life. This was a great video mate very clever well done.

  18. I remember these Lewis. They are a far better radio than the other 2 u mentioned once programmed up. The Hora was the only competition to the cheaper Alinco hand helds as their hand helds were far less expensive than the big 3 names at the time. Great video mate

  21. That looks an interesting radio mate. Well worth a try for that sort of money. The only problem i can see is we will all need bigger houses to store all of these Chinese radios that we are all collecting hahaha.

  22. Very interesting video mate. I remember the brand new cases from the AOR 3000 and 3000a being for sale from the AOR's the air service bought to install in their towers. They were stripped out of their brand new enclosure's and they sold the cases for £70 each. Its great how your videos trigger memorise like that.

  25. loads of good points about network radios well covered there lads. For all those that say what if the network ever goes down it wont work what then? Well so what what did we do before all this tech was available? We didnt worry about what if thats for sure. Use it for what it is.

  35. I do know that our new king was sent an Audioline 340 when cb was first legalised in the uk. Havent a clue if he used it. It was reported in one of the cb mags at the time tho. Dave lee Travis was also big into cb as well but his name isnt so pc any more. Interesting video mate. Hope u are well.

  40. Nice looking radio mate iv noticed there aren't many of these cheap radios for sale on vhf if any at all. Dont know if u have seen any? U have a huge choice of repeaters near u I have 2 on uhf lol cant hit either of them on a hand held from my house or anywhere in the town lol

  41.  @AC-nt1ph  hi the main thing i have foundcis when using the cps to program the radio. Its very basic and doesnt seem to have ever been updated. I have had issues with settings that have not been transferred to the radio from cps properly. But the radio works very well and build quality is great better than most Chinese radios. It doesnt seem to suffer from breakthrough on receive like some of these cheaper radios do. All in all well worth what u pay for them.

  42. I remember these and the ones that came after. They were always out of my budget but i always wanted one.

  49. I think they are a really good idea Lewis iv looked at them for a while but same as u i just dont know if i would use it enough to warrant even £130 when me phone does the same thing. I have to say the ptt in the center of the screen is inconvenient so the ptt on the side and the look of those phones is a big bonus. Do u find the lag and latency using Zello a problem?
