Simoco Radios.

Hi,

Firstly can a MOD move if it's in the wrong place.

I have 4 Simoco SRP 8020 UHF radios, there very good but i need a base radio. Any one have any ideas and also a programme cable for this kind of radio.

They need a PMR licence. Any suitable channel and licenced FM base (Motorola?) will do.

They can't be used legally as licence free PMR446.

They can be converted legally to Amateur use (which needs a licence)

You need an old DOS PC running real DOS to program some Motorolas. Tait are popular conversion from Low band VHF to 4m Amateur due to easy programming.
