Hi All,
About to embark on a 4WD trip into the Dargo/Wonangatta area and with the current fire situation and heading out as a single vehicle thought it'd be wise to invest or hire a UHF radio.

But...I have been told that they are not able to give me info (fire reports/fire bans, etc) or the abilty to gain assistance unless someone is within close proximity or as they say...line of sight - true or false?

Obviously Sat Phone is the ideal but surely UHF's are of some use...as well as being somewhat easier on the pocket.
Any feedback would be appreciated as I am an obvious novice when nit comes to CB/UHF radios!!!
Thanks,
Matt...
