[ben88]

A friend of mine has managed to "obtain" a load of philips radio communication things, problem is we have no idea how to work them.

i've searced on google without any success.

the numbers on the packaging read...

 

Type AT29706/16

FREQ

Volt

S.NO E 9080362

 

obviously the serial number is differnat on each one and on a few the type ends in /13.

 

any one have any ideas what in gods name these things are.

What sort of communication things,CBs,ham radio,walkie talkies?

[ben88]

to be honest i havnt got a clue, they seem to be the sort of radio type things that click nto your collar or something.

Haven't got a clue then,it sounds like one for 007 can you get a pic on?

[Guest Ferret1959]

Do they work?

Do they have chargers?

Do they have frequency marked on them.

 

They could be ex-police radios as most are digital now.

Unless you know what freq they tx on do not use them as you would more than likely be breaking the law.

thats the radio things.

theres no frequency written on them, the only information i have about them is in the first post.

 

the radios with serial numbers ending in /13 have no dial on the front.

[Guest Ferret1959]

They are speaker/ mikes to fit Phillips/Pye handheld two way radios.

I have a few radios they fit but the freqs are on 169 mhz which is allocated to hospital use.

 

Unless you have radio set for the speaker/mikes they are pretty worthless, your mate didn't pay any money for them did he?

[ben88]

Nah no cash was paid, they were "aquired"

[ben88]

where can my mate get the radio sets from?

[Guest Ferret1959]

Has he got a licence to any frequencies?

 

If not don't bother as the fines and possible imprisonment ain't worth the hassle.
