The spec of the radio is yet to be decided, however, the "must have" will be the following: The brand will be Motorola as I believe they make the best ones Features will include: Sub- channels Ring or similar attachment mechanism for lanyard attachment Supply with re-chargable batteries Twin pack with a single double charger (this enables you to use the radios during home outings and not just driving around in a MINI  )Under 70 GBP for a pair including batteries and chargers (this is what I am aiming for, however, it depends on the model etc.) Full payment will be required in advance via PayPal or bank transfer. Delivery will take place in person at SCNM meets after I take delivery of the radios, either by myself or Max. Sorry, no postal delivery as it is too much hassle! Please register your interest below. I'll post up the full spec, price and payment details once I have them  DK P.S.: I may organise a separate group buy for the ear bug with in-line Push To Talk button - something I am meaning to get but have yet to get round to it. Wear the radio on a lanyard around your neck and use the ear bug to listen to messages, and PTT when you need to. This will free up both hands most of the time, and you get to hear all transmissions (not 100% sure if the latter is a good thing though :roll: ) If you are interested in getting a ear bug, then please let me know via this thread for the time being, thanks Update 11:20h on 04 Feb 07 ----------------- --------------- Maplin still have the cheaper less spec'ed T5422s and I have made enquiry about bulk buy List of Interested Participants ------- -------------------- ------ Max and DK x 1 set ItHurt x 1 set DK x 1 shedend x 1 Hyperactive x 2 ItHurt x 1 cooper_sport x 2 Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

Custom-made ones are too expensive, as one needs to order a minimum quantity of 50 or so :roll: Apart from my suggestion re: getting a MINI United one, try this: I got mine from there, and I prefer to have one with safety clasp MINI United 2005 one does not have safety clasp, not many "promotional" ones do, as they cost extra! The black one, although plain, does the job nicely IMHO DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

Prices do not include VAT though, and minimum order is 10. You can organise a group buy for this They do the trick too, however, the clip is plastic, not as sturdy as the black one I bought from the referee place Max says it works fine for him DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||

| Registered Member #22 Joined: Sun Jan 15 2006, 12:00AMLocation: Devizes Posts: 731 | Hi Dave, It's still open as I have not got round to doing much about it :oops: The best price I can get for the T5422s (a pair with twin charger and rechargeable batteries) is from Maplin at 59.99 a pair, and there is no discount, no postage though if the order is over 100 GBP (2 pairs ).As for earbug with PTT, the best price is 19 GBP each including postage. Therefore: For radios alone, it will be 59.99 GBP For earbug with PTT along, it will be 19 GBP For radios and earbug together will be 78.99 GBP If peeps are still interested, then please let me know, ta DK Image: http:// www.appletheminicoop er.net/PicSigs/ PicSig26.JPG | ||
