what 0.5 watt uhf pack should i get ? dse,uniden,exc

Didn't you have another thread about this going elsewhere?

what do you expect from it? Cause you wont get much at all for $50 for 2....

Neither, spend $300-$400 and get a good GME or Uniden unit that will serve a purpose.

0.5-Watt UHF, what is the point??

G'day
I actually have the uniden two for 55 bucks uhf radio's and find although they work quite well they flatten the batteries even when they are switched off, next time I would buy the uniden rechargable twin pack which can be left in the charger till required.

I have the dse twin pack which was about $79. What ever u get make sure u get one with rechargable batteries or u will be cursing a lot. Mine has a twin cradle to recharge the units.

We used to use ,5 watt uniden( the older bigger unit same wattage), they are great between vehicles, but if you get a few bends between them and 500..600metres, they drop out fast. general car to car is clear and good cheap communication.

Don't get the half watt ones.

Try the 2 watt Uniden. Shop around a bit. A colleague bought one last week and haggled at Retravision getting the rechargable version (can still take AA's too) for about $148.

2 watt is much more usefull.

I have one in the glove box as do many I travel with. Just the ticket for coordinating a retrieval by HEMS for a trail bike rider with a fractured leg in the high country earlier this year. Gadge parked his truck up where CDMA reception could be had, went down and treated and packaged the patient and took the hand held and relayed info to another colleague back at the truck who coordinated the winch extraction of the patient via HEMS via CDMA with the Ambulance control center in Wang.

Worked a treat. Course travelling with paramedics does have it's advantages...

I've got both the Uniden UH036 with the AAA batteries and an older Uniden UH-040 with the AA batteries.

The UH040 unit with the AAs lasts for ages on batteries or rechargables - much better radio.

I find them very useful when you're out of the vehicle, and want to listen; Also I'll put one on scan when out in the desert and theres a few people around.
