Hi @ll,

thank you very much for your answers to my UHF radio questions, regarding our Canning Stock Route trip in late May and June this year (was thread no. 67209).

Kathrin, one of the two persons travelling in the second car, has some more questions/wants some clarifications:

1. We will carry an Iridium satphone for long range emergency communication. Is a built-in 5W UHF still necessary? Or would two 2 W handhelds be ok for communication between our two vehicles and oncoming traffic?

2. If one car has a builit-in UHF unit with 5W and the second has a 2W handheld, would this be sufficient? Our would a second handheld in the first car be needed and if yes why would it be needed?

Would be great if you could answer Kathrins questions and give some recommendations/argumentation.

I have already made up my mind from previous answers, but Kathrin asked me to post her questions.

Thanks a lot,

Cheers from bloody cold and boring Dortmund/Germany,

Juergen
