[RSU1018]

detects air band? i need this for aviation?????

[xXP0EDUNKXx]

i would like to know how well it charges cell phones maybe small camera

[SoulRebel144]

I don't know much about these, but if I had one of these at home and my other party was out would they need to use 2 way radios to talk to me or is it CB radios? Or will either work. Also does it have to be a midland brand? Thanks a lot

[poormanprepper]

if im using the 2way radio lightly how long do you think the battery life is, and can i obtain a full charge from the crank handle?

good morning

This would be a great to take on Scout camps. is an antenna socket mod possible?

[simonthewizard]

Possible with a small wire to a BNC socket, its a bugger of a job but seems to work.

I love MIDLAND XT511 TWO-WAY BASE STATION

[simonthewizard]

And do yours make more than 500mw? These can do 3w ish when modified. Thanks for posting :) Simon

[PetrosPolonos]

@simonthewizard Where could I find the know-how for the modification? The PMR module, of course. High power TX, and perhaps external antenna?

[simonthewizard]

Hi! The radio has CTSS and DCS indeed however the squelch has two settings on and off. So, there is a monitor button that opens the squelch on every channel and press one more time and it is closed. Not variable just on/off. Best Wishes Simon

Hi simon can i take it the basecamp has adjustable squlch scan etc.

Does it have dcs and ctss ?? Looks very nice

[fezuk2006]

I like the look of this radio, I can see some nice go-packs being built around these units. Maybe a nice fold up base antenna. Shame about the price though :(

[simonthewizard]

Sadly these days good things come at a price. There are a fair few accessories with the unit, and indeed the EU price maybe is not the same as UK. I just converted it with an online conversion. Check with Alan UK, am sure Colin or Lance can let you know?

[WeAreSoScrewed]

I've seen these selling for $60-$70 almost everywhere that carries them. Not much different than a decent pair of gmrs walkie talkies. To me, it's one helluva good buy.

[simonthewizard]

Hi, yes remember the Midland Porta Pack think it was called, quite unique when it was around new. The 77-805 was its model number and recently one sold on ebay for 23pounds. Best Wshes Simon

[funkyalexjones]

You got a lot of equipment! Do you remember the old midland CB radio that was like a base unit style (ie not the handheld shape), but had a built in telescopic and had a battery pack? I'm trying to find it online but can't.. that was my first rig, I quickly added on a regular 1/2 wave antenna on my house and got a PSU for it, fun little rig.

[26pr007]

how much

[simonthewizard]

Around 112 pounds here Mr Mick
