The SWR meter will go between the radio set & the antenna, you plug the antenna in the side where it says ANT & you need a short patch lead to go from the radio to the SWR meter, you have the instructions from there.

The CB licence has been scrapped but regulations are still applicable, If anyone is interested I'll dig out the letter I received from ofcom.

Not any more you don't, I received a letter telling me I no longer need a licance to operate a CB, I had held my CB licence for 12 years.

Where are you lightweight? I'm sure a member near you would help you set it up.

we had a good long debate on this, later S2as are the same as the S3, have a look: http://www.takeforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=518&mforum=mvwf Cheers Ian

Join them all, they all have there strong points.

You took your time Gareth.

Hi David, it's interesting how many of us ex-service get into this, I think it fills a void. I missed the comradeship that this hobby is akin to, you'll always have mates in this hobby. Welcome.

Another Devon member, we ought to arrange a SW run.

aha, that was my point earlier in the thread, & who reported it? a blinkered Chris Davies, these are the people we should be talking to, you'd think if someone was going to do a report on a show they would at least get their facts straight, Chris Davies still refers to it being war on the line. Cheers Ian

the windscreen mag may be 50/50 on war time vehicles & pw vehicles but this 6 years / 60 years, still hardly equal. The Buckfastleigh show was called war on the line as it was ww2 vehicles taking part, this changed a few years ago to the Buckfastleigh military weekend as pw vehicles were in equal numbers to WW2 vehicles, what I don't understand is why events are still being called ww2 events, if the Devon area MVT can change the Buckfastleigh event name why can't other areas? Cheers Ian

Maybe the mvt could start a sister group, the PWMVT rather than risk loosing pwmv owners as members, yeah I know, it will never happen :whistle: I had the statistics for 2005 of how many people didn't renew their MVT membership & how many new members joined, it was something like 1000 didn't renew but 1200 joined, I don't recall the actual figures but it was along those lines, it wont be until the membership numbers drop that the MVT will consider doing anything more for the pwmv owners, I know there has been more info on PWMVs since complaints were made including one from myself, if you want more then you are going to have to shout louder & to the right people, ranting on a public forum isn't going to get anyone anywhere. Cheers Ian
