Yeah I've got the UV-5R+ and the programming cable (CHIRP I find is much more stable than the BaoFeng software) I'll have a look at the model you mention. cheers

Hi Speakercon, You should be ok, just keep an eye on them. I too thought similar with chargers purchased from 'overseas'. Can I ask which radios/where from? Reason I ask is I am evaluating a comms solutions for a response group who have next to no funds available. I am currently...

I have done both. That is drilled from one side only and from both. The breakout as said is minimal, particularly if you ease right off with any pressure as it's getting close. I've also drilled off a ladder (I know, I know). My tip would be make sure that the ladder is tied off...

Now there's an idea!! Instead of stopping it getting through which could look carp deal with it IF it gets through. Thanks Chippie :)

Cheers big-all I have tried selling it but no one wants 30 x 4M lengths of deckboard for a decent price. Shiplap will cost me about £150 for the front and side of the shed (still using OSB for the rear and other side that can't be seen). Although I do agree it's the correct product for the...

Hi there, I'm looking to build me an extension to my current shed, well actually a new shed altogether and just wanted to run my ideas by you. It's going in a corner made up of the current shed and boundary fence. So for the two sides you can't see I was just going to use OSB2 with a...

Hi there, I live in an 1890's terrace which has the kitchen in an what one might call an extension (in that it sticks out the back) but it is part of the original house. The kitchen has always been a bit damp on the sink wall (back wall) but I recently gutted the room and fitted a new...

I feel the latter might be the case seeing as the domain is registered in Powys as well as the mysterious new user...

Trade Windows in Preston are very reasonable... Hi God, I'm in Lancashire otherwise I would have asked if you were interested.

So, in theory at least, I am perfectly able to add lighting to my kitchen currently undergoing refurbishment as it is an empty room without sink nor food prep facilities at the moment... :)

Hi, I have a Scantronic 9600 with 3 keypads (all look identical with LCD display and a powe LED and 4 LED's for the group buttons). Only keypad one illuminates the group button according to what Group is set. The other two keypads (2 & 3) don't but work in all other respects. As keypad...

Nobody got any ideas how I can remedy this? The installation company seems clueless as they've never heard of this before! It is admittedly only a fraction of a millimeter, but still in winter this will allow cold air in. Can anybody suggest a method of adjusting the door to close...

Hi, I have a new front door of the uPVC type. Whilst it has been adjusted well with a good seal all round when closed and handle lifted there is a tiny Gap between the door and seal on the hinge side between the top and middle hinge. The hinges are adjusted so that the seal near the...

No probs, I will do in a few mins

Thanks for the reassurance! So the crumbly timbers are just because it was damp I'm hoping. I have already re-inforced the ends and added some more brick pillars to support right near the end of them. Thanks, Ian

Hi, Whilst decorating the front room in my 1890's terrace I had the floor boards up to move some heating pipes. I noticed the end of some of the joists appeared a little damp. Now I think this was due to the debris inder the house contacting the bottom of the joists. I have dug out this...
