looking UHF/CB radio experts!

[tickford2001]

just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on UHF/CB radios.

what i need to do is put together a system that can be used for car to pit crew and pit crew to car communication...and i need to do it on a tight budget! My experience with radios extends about as far as using the little hand held units on car cruises!

from what i can tell a unit with between 3 & 5 watts output should do the job, although I think we could probably get away with 1.5-2 watts, but this might get a bit sketchy at places like phillip island and bathurst, so ill probably just stick to a 5w unit.

i think to start with im looking for a a hand held unit for the car, and one or two for team manager and no.1 mechanic. They would need to be able to take a headset for crew, ear piece for driver, and both would need ptt.

can anyone tell me how does the mhz level come into the equation? or anyone have any advice at all about radios that might affect what i include in my setup?

of course, anything i use for this purpose will need to be legal... :Reverend:
