Just to clarify costs, I want to add this section as well:

The application fee for a VHF frequency is much more expensive than for a 29Mhz frequency. Here are the current fees, but subject to change if ICASA deems so:

SIMPLEX (Local)
Application Fee: R620.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted

SIMPLEX (Roving)
Application Fee: R620.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted. (Minimum quantity of Radios: 50)

DUPLEX:
Application Fee: R1100.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R48 per Radio, if granted
(Minimum of 40 Radios required in Rural Areas, 80 in Metropolitan Areas)

LINKS:
Application Fee: R730.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted

29MHz:
Application Fee: R210.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted (for Ski-Boats) / R33 per Radio (for 4x4)


VHF frequencies are a valuable resource and are protected. It is understood that 29MHz frequencies are for purposes of many users sharing (relatively) short range frequencies for communal use, whereas FM frequencies are intended for Businesses etc who would prefer privacy (albeit it limited) with their radio communications.

Eric, what channels on 29mhz does the 4x4 people use. Ski boat channels we use 9/16/22 if I am not mistaken(I am under correction here).
If you get a radio programmed, whats the channels you require for off road use in convoy for example?

Koos, the normal 4x43 29MHz channels would be channels 14, 15 & 16. There is a Club in the W. Cape that also uses Ch. 1.

The Ski-Boat frequencies are Ch. 6, 19 & 22.

It took me long enough, Ian. And I found a glaring misprint that, thankfully, no one else picked up!

It will be updated as time goes by.

Thanx for this F_D, very useful!!!

One of the better, cost-effective VHF Portable Radios available for use by forumers has been the Kirisun PT4200 VHF portable Radio, which is a 16-Channel unit covering the full VHF spectrum. Featuring a 1200mA/Hr Lithium-Poly Battery, this light-weight robust unit has been tried and tested for use in harsh environments and has come through with flying colours. Hence it has become my recommendation for an excellent "value for money" portable radio.
Kirisun has recently introduced a brand new Mobile VHF radio, the PT8000, which we have tested and are happy to announce that the short-comings of the older model radio have been addressed. This model is now totally approved by us for use in a 4x4 vehicle. The PT8000 unit is a solid eight-channel VHF Mobile radio at an affordable price.
Contact me for any further information on these units should you have any queries.

What prices can we get them for?
