    Hey there
    There are so many place to find flagpole and flag mount. U can find it in ACE hardware store or Ramy 4×4 or somewhere else. I bought mine in Al Satwa shops area, shops next to mosque, cost me around 70aed. Alternatively u can go to DragoMart shop BAI-05 for radios, if I’m not mistaken! Flag pole n EBE-06. To be hones u can find all u need in section EBE.

    Thanks Alex.
    For Radio: I believe it has to be the one with screen? and does it need to be set at any frequency, which is probably used by DubaoOffroaders?

    I think that shop in Dragon mart which I mentioned later can program it for u, also ask discount there, they gave me 30aed discount for DO.

    here are the frequency:

    “The most important button is on its side; it is called PTT (Push-To-Talk). Press this button to speak, and release it to once you’re done. In some devices on the front panel there is an LED indicating that you have pressed this button. Additionally, on the LCD display there is a horizontal bar that is engaged as well or TX displayed.

    Before using a Radio in the desert, you need to refer to your user manual and set the channels to the frequencies mentioned below. At present Dubai Offroaders uses international standard frequencies for two-way radio communication for public use.

    Channel (CH) —– Frequency (MHz)

    CH 1:——462.5625
    CH 2:——462.5875
    CH 3:——462.6125
    CH 4:——462.6375
    CH 5:——462.6625
    CH 6:——462.6875
    CH 7:——462.7125
    CH 8:——467.5625
    CH 9:——467.5875
    CH 10:—–467.6125
    CH 11:—–467.6375
    CH 12:—–467.6625
    CH 13:—–467.6875
    CH 14:—–467.7125

    In the desert, there are certain basic etiquettes everyone should follow for proper radio communication. They are important for user’s personal safety and safety of others in her/his vicinity. It is especially important for Marshals to know when somebody is stuck, if there is an attempted recovery or any other similar situation.”
