80 channels are legal only if you use the uk and not the midblock I've got a 600 channel midland 48plus but I don't use anything other than the uk 40's so I'm perfectly legal
Sorry, but you are both wrong. 80 channel rigs are perfectly legal as long as the 80 channels are the 40 channels allocated to 27/81 specifications (the older frequencies) AND the 40 channels allocated to the CEPT channels.
Rigs like the Maycom EM-27 (don't buy one with the orange display they are crap but green display models are ok) are capable of both bands as are some others.
Phil, you probably are not legal. If any of the frequencies your rig covers are allocated to the amateur radio bands, then you should hold an amateur radio licence to use this set, regardless of which frequencies you use it on. As should I for my Ranger 2510 which has been doctored to go places it shouldn't (erm I do have a licence, erm honest.) Same as the marine band set I use (rx only - NEVER to TX unless a life threatening situation.)
Well ur local shops toss then, see if there's anywhere else close, I have 3 shops in a 20 mile radius of me tell em it needs a service and a tune up, where's ur location??
