I have read about the web and some sites say the same. Im going to be fitting a 27mhz AM SSB radio to my vehicles, some mates of mine said they will too as we have use for it (not because the internet says so).
I have the right antenna on its way and access to a SWR meter...so it'll work mint
UHF simply does not have the range. Apparently theres a local repeater (in town), and another one two towns up, but still the airwaves remain quiet (except the odd passer by on weekends). Even with the addition of a 5ft antenna.
Can always use both anyway...27mhz for car to car + long distance and UHF ch40 for highway use.
Only yesterday on UHF ch40 i received a warning for an undercover cop rolling down the highway in none other than a Prado (first UC ive ever seen in such a vehicle).. it does have its occasional merits!
Ill just see how it goes anyway.
