    Hi Ahmad,

    I am a newbie with some guidance to go off-road and I believe there is one this Friday.

    Could you please advise from where I can get this radio and if there is anything else required.

    Regards,
    Kamran

    Looking forward to this especially as I found the cooling system fault that was causing the Jeep to get a bit toasty under stress!

    Hi Kamran,
    You may try in Old Dragon mart Shop# BAI05- BAI13 (SHENG DA TRADING). Don’t forget to mention your off-road group. Otherwise you will endup with wrong radio/Frequency range. I used both Motorola MT777 & GP 338 plus @ 190AED. She will do all settings for free. Good luck and have a safe drive.

    Channel —- Frequency (MHz)
    1—————- 462.5625 2—————- 462.5875 3—————- 462.6125 4—————- 462.6375
    5—————- 462.6625 6—————- 462.6875 7—————- 462.7125 8—————- 467.5625
    9—————- 467.5875 10————— 467.6125 11————— 467.6375 12————— 467.6625
    13————— 467.6875 14————— 467.7125

    regards

    Hi Nag,

    Thank you, bought one today from same shop ( Motorola GP338 Plus ) pre-configured for off-roading.

    The cost has gone up to AED 250 + VAT now.

    Great to see a variety of recovery techniques and also how difficult those recovery tracks are to use!

    4 of them didn’t budge the LR4!

    Indeed! Excellent – slightly unexpected conclusion but everyone learnt a lot and had fun doing so!

    Thanks again to the marshals who make this all possible…
