    I have bought a number of Radios from 409shop, mostly chinese brands, but had them outlast Unidens, motorolas & kenwoods!
    Puxing's are good, as are other ones...
    409SHOP LIMITED 2-way Radio & walkie talkie accessory OEM ODM manufacturer

    oh, if you ever buy online, make sure you get NZ frequency band ones... they offer them in all the ranges...
    Most of those need an amateur license, don't they?

    I use the Uniden tradies pack on the farm and in the bush.
    Useful when you've got 2 teams of shooters out on quads.
    Bush work - range drops off VERY quickly, but good for evening checkins and fantastic from on top of a big hill

    The old school AM CB was good for getting around obstacles and distance but lousy for quality.

    Only need a license for VHF or duel banders, and officially for using marine vhf for anything other than emergency.

    I am told that nothing beats the good old HF mountain radio. Not very portable though

    You only need to do the course for marine now but you are meant to apply for a call sign (free) which is essentially your license.

    I'd forgotten about those. Good to check in and get a weather update on a longer trip. Some of the newer ones are not too bad for size. The killer is all the wire for the antenna.

    I have a Maritime Restricted Operators Certificate but this is sufficient if you just have a VHF, Maritime VHF Operator Certificate (Coastguard course)

    I have not come across anyone getting into strife for using boat based vhf without a call sign, but that may be because I live in a quiet backwater. I am told that Auckland coastguard police things differently.

    @anderset20 I got the exact pair last year, they work a treat for me have no problems with them. In the suburbs you pickup a lot of interference as expected, in the country I use them on the farm and I'm happy for what I use them for, it worked a treat for duck season with the flushers. Considering others I hunt with have radios as well, you only need to be in range of one of them for communication. The ear pieces cut out a lot and are much clearer to use that the speaker and are perfect when you are creeping around. I have taken them on school camps etc. I am happy with them, that's just my 2 cents worth and for entry level radios the price sits right.

    Ordinary batteries make sense, but do restrict the power
