hi everyone, extreme novice here. Just starting out. Based on the Wirral. Wondering how active it is around me? Looking to put one in my old car to start with. Have my eye on a cobra 25ltd st ( only because it will match the car) I know all units may have there pro’s and con’s but this ok t9 start out with?
Not got a call sign yet but will wait till I’m set up first.
Many thanks
Paul

Hello Paul. I'm across the water from you and yes it is active . Although I mainly operate from Abergele , hopefully I'll sort a homebase soon. PMR 446 is quite active too.
