Hi,
I don't suppose anyone knows if there is a place that will rent handheld UHF CB radios for personal/travel use? The radios here in Canada are the wrong band, and everything I've found online in Oz so far has been for commercial rental.
Any info appreciated! Cheers! - Steve

I hired one of these types
UHF
many years ago for about $20 a day for a long weekend.
that hirer is out of business.
For
Perth to
Cairns trip would be cheaper to buy new and you can always sell it at the end and get some money back.
or look for secondhand when you get here. Sure to be some on our sales site Gumtree.
Prestige Communications have excellent reputation
Cheers

Yeah - they are reatively cheap (5W UHF handheld) - for a trip over a couple of weeks you may as
well buy two...and then flog them off on Ebay/Gumtree.
Cheers

Hand helds will keep you in touch with traffic around you, and can be purchased cheaply. I suggest purchasing a pair when you arrive in Australia. The can be purchased from many sources, discount auto stores, hardware stores, and probably electronic stores. I was looking at a catalogue last night and hand held cold be purchased as low as $30 odd for a pair. Like
mine, these took three AAA batteries. I find that batter than rechargeable built in batteries, because you can take spare batteries, particularly useful if using them on walks.
This is a 'specials' catalogue from Repco stores this month - look at the top left hand units. Look half way down page 12 on the left.

My 1 watt Unidens use the batteries up quite fast if being used for conversation all the time, but for occasional communication they last for ages.
