Joe's advice above is your first step. If you have confirmed you have a UHF radio with frequencies above 400 Mhz then you are good. The next step is to follow Sasha's great tutorial here....Chris R wrote:Hi , apologies for my ignorance in advance as I am new to the website and new to the sport. I am looking forward to coming out for my first drive and am getting the essential equipment together. I have bought a Motorola MT-777 radio and have read the list of channels and frequencies. However after several hours with the instruction book I am still no closer to being able to programme the channels and frequencies you have listed. Can anyone advise a simple to understand set of instructions for how I do this ?
Many thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Ankit wrote:@Lucagoesoffroad yes the radio which normally off-road groups are using in UAE are non CB (as far as I know these radios are banned in this part of the world :-$ ). Most of the groups like ours use UHF radio with frequency 400-470 MHz. You can get them easily is dragon mart.
Why we have our list of radio channels?
That's to avoid confusion over communication with other off-road groups nearby. However a few times I have heard other groups voices on the radio while passing by(as it may be a coincidence that they have 1 or 2 frequency same as ours).
In case of emergency?
Well the 1st basic rule of off-road is you should not be travelling alone. But still if unfortunately something happens and ur alone :-ss . Then you can always use ur mobile phone to contact the authorities. I have always seen network on my phone while in desert.
PS: Dont forget to buy a programable radio and also learn to use it before joining the trip. As a compatible radio and a flag is mandatory in our trips.
