If no one comes up with an answer, remind me next week. We may have one of these offshore that I had to set to a Private channel last year, can't remember if it is the same radio though and can't check until next week.

Thanks, but unfortunately that is the 'owner's manual' which doesn't tell you how to program a channel into the set, only how to select it once it's in. Willie G may be able to send me what I need.

 

Do you have to be licenced to use a private channel these days, or is it open slather?

You still need to be licenced and I believe OFCOM are proposing to ramp up the cost of such licences.

 

Iain - if you PM me your email address, I can send you a pdf of the required manual.

Cheers,
Willie

 

Sorry Iain.......

Looking thru it .......... you'r right.

there is another "techie" manual online in pdf form which many be the one Willie is referring to.

No probs Sparkie, thanks for trying anyway. I've seen the other on-line manual, but this doesn't give the info either, and refers to the manual I described which is only issued to workshops.

 

The private frequencies are set by "Cutting jumpers" and adding wire shorts.
The Technical handbook will show how to do it.

 

Email sent, Iain.

Willie
