RHys Llewellyn

Can you describe the Motorola radio?

Stupid point i know but ive got 3 in the house so i might of pick up yours by mistake.

bandit

we also have someone's m203 pistol grip grenade launcher

Freeman

Not technically event 13 L&F as it was lost a while ago, and just noted that it was absent prior to the event

Don't suppose anyone's found at a previous event (either Christmas or the very wet event prior to it) a very small black pistol, with brown hand grips. The sort of gun that would make a good small of back pistol, boot pistol, or hat pistol?

Thanks.

RHys Llewellyn

Silver Pistol?

Verity (Sophie)

Gun is mine. Sorry, I am the fool. Embarassed

RHys Llewellyn

LOL ignore me you said black, sorry bout that.

Richard Tyler

The m203 is probably mine. Does it have an innefectual poppered belt clip attached to it? No hurry to have it back if you are ok to hold onto it till the next one Smile

bandit

that sounds like the one bugger will make sure it comes to the next one for you

Found a Binatone MR250 radio that had been left in the fort. It's dead, so maybe it was abandoned, on the other hand it could be just flat battery pack. Any claimants?

RHys Llewellyn

Right the radio i took to the event were EXACTLY the smae make and model as your nige, so its possible i have one of your, anyway we are going to tell?

sm0keyb

Ah! not too sure about that. did you have three radios to start off with? They normally come in pairs with a dual charger. Maybe we could tell from serial nos. Mine is 175YCKAH26 June 25 2002. (look under the battery) If you've got one near that S/N it might be mine, especially if the other two are different.

RHys Llewellyn

cool i have 2 and still have 2 but will check sn

RHys Llewellyn

Yup looks like ive got one of your radios, you want posting or next event?

Wayne

sm0keyb

Ah, that's brilliant. Next event will do fine Wayne. Don't waste your money on getting it lost in the post Very Happy

Thanks for tracking it down for me.

I still have a silver Binatone MR250, if anyone recognises it as theirs.

Cheers

It could be mine. I have 6 but only about 3 currently. I know Verity has one as she hoards radios. The others could be anywhere. Im not sure if it is though as I cant think who I might have lent it too

sm0keyb

It was left on the table by the tipi in the fort, if that helps identify it. I'll bring it to the next game. we can sort it out then.

Klaus Von Bekk

on the topic of radio's i want to get one for the next event what would people reccomend?

Allen, Cobra, Motorola. Avoid cheepies from Argos & the like. The spec may read exactly the same as a more expensive radio but they don't have the range & the squelch doesn't work as well. There are review sites online

There are usually good deals to be had on twin packs, especially if they include a charger.

Klaus Von Bekk

thanks

thats usefull to know

whats squelch by the way?

will x

sm0keyb

Squelch suppresses the "white noise" that occurs when the radio is not picking up a transmission on the frequency it's set to. It saves you from having the sound of "frying eggs" in your ear whenever you're waiting for a call. Set too low, you get the frying eggs noise as a background to all conversations, set too high & reception will be "chopped" & sound like the classic comedians "faulty microphone" gag.

Jacqueline

To set squelch, turn it all the way down, so you hear the static hiss, then turn it up slowly until it stops. You want squelch as low as possible without filling your lug with hiss.
