The GME GX300 is a 29Mhz radio which requires a licence to operate. Range depends on various factors but can be as far as 15km. Needs a dedicated external antennae, properly tuned.

Look here for more details. PM Family_Dog as he is our supplier. Cost including antenna somewhere around R2000-R2200

Thanks Simon, So essentially you use it to communicate with other cars in your convoy?

In my mind, a radio is an essential piece of kit for any travels which you do with other vehicles, and especially on trails. And this from someone who initially thought them a pointless luxury.
