Well once and once only I played the "Payday" game there. Which worked really well. 2 Briefcases. Only one person can hold one briefcase. You CANNOT put it down once you have it unless you are hit. Only people with briefcases can pick up money from the vault room on the basement level...

This Saturday? Okee dokee. I also might be able to take the spot of someone in a group I'm in, but thats also TBC

Gah my works changed again, any chance I can get in on this or is it full?

Oh cool! Yeah I think I know who you mean. TBH most of the guys there are pretty awesome. I'll ask next time i'm that way. Cheers!

I'm also in the same area, is Luke one of the Marshals or one of the regulars?

Yeah I understand! No worries, planing on trying to go before then anyhow! Just wanted to try and get to a game with no hires (THE DREAM). Sadly I can't change my schedule, its work thats getting in the way (a long almost 2 week job). Hope you all have an awesome game though!

Worth a try... *shrug*

Given that there may be many more than can fit, could it be worth doing a date on the 13th as well? I mean I'm saying this from entirely selfish reasons because I can't make the 6th ha!

Its not about licensing its about fair use of space taking in consideration with power and frequency. I mean I could come along and use a 12.5W burner transmitter and then nobody would be able to talk except me. This is kinda the same as what you do when you use your 4-5W transmitters in an area...

No I'm sorry that's just not true. In the link https://baofengradio.us/baofeng-888-black.html It clearly says they are 3-4W of power which is well above the 0.5W power limit of the PMR license/standard. As mentioned by other users and also on this particular...

Baofeng 888's are not PMR radios, the easist way to look at is if they aren't PMR radios out the box, then you can't use them as such. Baogeng 888's are a reprogrammable "business radio" which require a licence to use in the UK basically.

It's also worth noting that if you do get caught you'll almost certainly have your equipment taken at the very least or face a massive fine and there's very little you can do about it in terms of litigation (i.e. ignorance is not a valid defence).

This was a lot of peoples reasoning for not purchasing a Channel 69 license for radio mics. And until the spectrum buy out happened they were right... Then suddenly they were left with unusable equipment and nothing to show for it... Also use licensed spectrum without a license regularly enough...

I mean its a personal "entertainments" use, the same as event coordinators would use for say managing a carpark or a small office security team might use. Yeah thats true, MOST sites aren't really going to be large enough to warrant a 4-5W transceiver, particularly as most are outdoors a PMR...

I only bought mine this year (previously I had used the company I had worked for license) so I assume that's the most up to date set? I'd say either email or ring them and get them to send you an updated list. Or to be honest... I could just PM you the frequencies if you've already got the license?

You get 7 UHF Frequencies to use and 5 VHF that are usable with the BaoFengs (12 VHF technically but most of them are mid and lower band which aren't usable with that specific type of radio)

I'd defiantly be down for coming. The Mall was my first airsoft game, even though I'm fairly new I'd still like to be part of the send off. Although sadly I can only do the 13th, so its down to the polls!

Ah! Ok excellent! Thanks for clearing that up! Yes I see that on the UKARA website now, makes sense.

To chip in my 10 pence, I'd say get some of the Baofeng UV-5R. They're completely programmable and they also work in both UHF and VHF, giving you many more frequencies to work with and possibly (technically) a little longer ranger in VHF. Don't forget you'll need a programming cable, but...

To add some more info, PMR licensed radios CANNOT be tuneable radios. Basiclly you cannot use baofeng to legally work on the PMR frequencies. Those frequencies have a hard limit on power and set frequencies from manufacturer. However that said, Baofeng are REALLY cheap, buy a few, buy a UK...
