IIRC Mac4RS said he has two as well. That's 4, may only need one more then.

You guys are all so fortunate to go on this great trip, and I very much respect and appreciate the work undertaken by P_G. :thumbs:

Hope you guys buy all his drinks for the duration of the event.

Mac, do your radios cover the same frequency range? And have the three of you, Mac4RS, pad125 and kr sorted out your chunnel crossings?

Just looking in the manual (Page201) and the dipped setting can be changed to offside. It recommends that only a dealer should do this. Anyone had experience of this. I’m guessing a dealer would charge like a wounded rhino!

caldy has a Rosstech lead and I'm bringing my PC hopefully at that time with Rosstech software on board so we should be able to change it ourselves. Otherwise try an independent if you want it done before you get on the chunnel; I got quoted £20.
