Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

Noticed not much comes up on tinernet about the iradio hand helds that are out there on the market.

Don't know how new they are, but they look really nice. I should know, I own 2 of them B)

The iradio UV-F9 and the iradio UV-588. I'll put a picture at the bottom of them both.

Both are VHF and UHF and both have dual receive (which can be annoying sometimes; but you can disable that).....and for the PMR freebanders, yes than can do 446, not that we would ever use them for such activities hihi hihi

There's only one seller in the UK selling them, in fact, happens to be a good friend of mine, not that I am promoting sales for him ;)

In all seriousness, I prefer these over the Baofeng hand helds. The receive audio sounds clearer, the TX audio is more crisp and they feel comfortable to hold. My number 1 recommended hand held is still the Quansheng TG-UV2, but these iradios are worth it for sure. Both the UV-F9 and UV-588 are £32.00 delivered. UV-588 is apparently easier to program by hand, but I have programmed both of mine via PC (standard Baofeng USB cable).

Reviews of both radios are on my YouTube channel (link to which should be in my post signature).

73 for now :) :cheers:

Radio waves obey the laws of physics, not Ofcom ;)

73s, hope to work you on the air.
