[@fishgarage69]

[@LiquidAntler]

Thanks for the feedback 👊

[@KOTW.Adventures]

Hey mate, how's the UHF holding up? The UHF390 is on special at BCF at the moment so I'm thinking of getting one. It will get occasional use when I go camping and not be for everyday usage.

[@LiquidAntler]

Hey mate thats exactly what i use it for and loving it. Does the job for the price. How much at BCF?

[@KOTW.Adventures]

@@LiquidAntler Thanks for the reply. They are $287 at BCF or $359 direct from Oricom. Your mates at Bubs & Grubs don't seem to stock them anymore unfortunately. ;-)

[@timrosenthal46]

That's why I'm here as well ...the BCF sale atm. I have read mixed reviews, but they look good.

[@KOTW.Adventures]

@@timrosenthal46 installed mine on Monday (I'm in Covid iso) and it works great. Looking forward to using it on my next trip next month.

[@chrisnorman9094]

Hey bloke how do you find it now down the track a bit ? Anything annoy you? The wheel selection do you seem to accidentally change it ?

[@LiquidAntler]

Mate i have found it fine for the amount i use it. To be honest I only turn it on when I am away on a trip. For me it does the job perfectly

[@chrisnorman9094]

@@LiquidAntler great news I just ordered one but had to pay $278 still bloody good value I recon.

[@BrekMartin]

@@chrisnorman9094 The mic cable sheath goes to shit, and you can’t buy another one (or use any other type of mic).

[@Wdthyfdo]

@@BrekMartin it comes with a 5 year warranty just get oricom to send a new one. If out of warranty the microphone is on there site for $89

you know how to stop the flashing colours mate? cheers

[@LiquidAntler]

Hi mate, not sure sorry. Once you choose a colour mine just stays on that set colour

Its an antenna not an aerial. Aerials don't transmit they only receive. Antennas receive and transmit.

[@zacandmillie]

I was was going to write the same but you beat me to it. You're correct. I learnt in the army when doing my signaller course. If we called the antenna an aerial we had to do 20 push ups.

[@tammyunwin751]

@Taz its still an antenna. A whip is just the type of antenna.
