Well... it has FM stereo and torch-light too...

Alamak what is a px888 ... let me google hahaha. RM340 should be good buy. Give a review,if good get me one too.

Don't use uiview, so don't really know .. but you can always depend on aprs.fi .. you can zoom in and out .. and it just like google map, oh wait .. it is based on google map .. problem is, you need to be online to view other stations.

Good price for the PX888, is it UHF? I remember 9W2ECH at Lowyat is selling too, forgot the price.

Nope, it is VHF ones .. and I'm having a hard time trying to program it manually.. since it has lit-ion battery, I might want to use it as my normal handy and let the ft-60r be my permanent aprs digi

ah tat is a very simple set no? but but why say since it's lit-ion u use as normal handy?

Because my FT-60R uses nimh .. hehe.. can't tx for long

ohhhhh lit-ion is better in terms of batt life?

WOW! that's very cheap for a px888.
May i know the location of the seller pls? im also attracted to the li-ion batt fact of it.

arGh! yet to get my call sign. only waiting for signature fr 9M.

yawn..

hi guyz.. i'm looking for a Wouxun KG-UVD1 dual-band handy.. what's the cheapest price u guyz have gotten for it? and the shop?

i've been reading through a few pages and read that it actually had a decent review.. was putting my eyes on the VX-7R, but maybe save a little on the handy and top up some for an icom rig.. heheh..

cheers guyz..

@wetwetwater , try to get 9M Signature, cause now they will only issue 1st January till 31st December, my AA is like that, spoke to new upcoming 9M also like that, they only official from 1st January.

har u mean if u dun apply for a callsign within a yr it goes expired?

No, I mean the cycle changed, not on the day you register. Your exam result should be valid for more than 1 year, mine more than 2 years still can register.

bro u lost me there :s

I mean, when you register, they will put effective on 1st January. Instead of when they register it.

I took the RAE test few weeks back. 1 week before RAE test, I attended a seminar organized by MCMC central region. Somebody queried them regarding the amateur rig bring in from other country. According to the one of the MCMC director, SIRIM approval is not required for amateur devices, you only need your AA (of cause the device you bring in must fit the requirement in your AA and license type)

Aww, saw 7800R a little more than V8000, should I just get V8000, first rig, need input
of course hard to compare, but still,

May I know what the director's name? Should give him a jolt for giving out conflicting information .. FYI, amateur radio equipment should be certified by SIRIM but certification is not needed if it is already in the MCMC/SIRIM approved list. The list was last updated in 2004 and many of the equipment listed in the approved list are already obsolete and no longer in production. According to regulation, any telecommunication devices need to be certified by SIRIM and if you're importing the equipment, they need to go though customs. Our friends in Perak had a problem with the authority I think last year and they were asked by MCMC to get their equipment certified by SIRIM.. and during the last RAE at USM, a seller was in trouble because she didn't go through the proper processes when selling her equipment.

Opss .. if you're referring to the above statement .. I'm making a joke about this SIRIM certification .. anybody could just print/pull out stickers from existing equipment and slap them on the radio .. Anyway, latest I heard, they're going to update the list to the latest and greatest radio equipment available in the market sans those china/thai made radios.

Got it rioven .. there will be a meeting with MCMC to discuss about this equipment list by few parties who're concerned about this certification thingy and hopefully this will be resolved ASAP.
