    Website Special - only £49.95!!!

    A new compact CB from this well know manufacturer, ideal for anyone looking for a robust basic radio. The radio looks more like a "2-way" than a standard CB.

    The radio is "multi-standard" and so will operate on all 80 legal channels in the UK, but can also be used in most EU countries and will operate on AM/FM in countries that permit this.

    On test we found the radio to work better than many of it's bigger rivals - the receive audio was clear, the squelch was more positive than many current radios, and the transmitted audio was strong. Overall it is probably the best compact radio currently available!

    Features include:

    • LED channel display
    • Multi frequency - for use in all EU countries
    • Standard 4 pin mic plug
    • Large simple controls
    • Rugged design
    • Decent size microphone
    • Manual and auto squelch
    • Quantity discounts available

    Compact Base Antenna

    A very compact base antenna, ideal for use inside or outside - but don't expect high performance!!  I would only expect a range of about 5 miles, but this does depend upon your location and where the antenna is mounted.

    If you really can not use a full size base antenna, then this may be an option for you. It is only 3ft tall and requires no additional groundplane.

    Easily mounted on any standard 1" mast (as used for TV aerials), this antenna can be used almost anywhere.

    Certainly the best one of these style antennas (much better made than the Excalibur & Super Lance) and unlike others you don't have to keep chopping the coax to swr it!  The swr is preset and is surprisingly low across all 80 channels.

    NEW MODEL - Website Special

    Buy 3 or more @ £49.95 each!!

    The latest model from tti, this is one of the smallest radios available, yet still offers a wide range of features. It is "multi-standard" so as well as covering all legal UK channels you can also use it in other EU countries by simply selecting a different "country code" (it will work on AM & FM in countries which permit this).

    The front of the radio is the same size as the Midland 38 & 98 (meaning it will fit in a DIN adapter if required) but the radio is shorter (only 135mm) so it may fit in locations where the Midlands are too deep.

    The radio has a good size display and large easy to use controls - which is what you want from a mobile radio!

    The microphone does not have channel change buttons on it (unlike it's larger brothers) but uses a standard 4 pin plug.

    They are not "soft start" like the ones above, and so may not run things like TV's which have a high initial surge as well, but for other equipment they work well.

    Available in 12V only.

    The "companion" to the Screwdriver Experts Guide, this book studies the PLL and how it works.

    The book goes into some depth about PLL circuitry and gives details on all the popular PLLs and how to modify them to obtain extra channels.

    This book is over 10 years old and so will not cover some of the latest PLLs (although most radios now use microprocessors instead of the standard PLL).
