Why rent a radio, When you can buy a brand new one for about £250, then all you do is get it set to the firms frequency, and if you have your own car as well thats a bigger bonus you would not have to pay no more than £10 a week to the owner, and if you fall out go to another firm get the radio set and bobs your uncle |

I wish it was that simple my friend, most operators who run radio's especially if in the same geographical area will have been allocated different frequencies by the RA therefore it is unlikley, although not impossible, that the band width of your radio will not be compatable. One of the reasons why one should never buy second hand radio's until the RA frequency has been allocated.

Wish it was that simple. I think you'd find it's "rent my radio or ~~** off" |

Well I think that actually is what happens in many areas, or the office has a mixture of rented radios and cars with their own fitted. But I think the point about the financial side of it is that when people talk about renting the radio they're really talking about office fees or whatever they call them, and the actually radio rental is only a small part of that. For example, if you pay the office £100 per week to 'rent the radio', it's actually perhaps £95 fee and £5 for the radio. But we're all 'radio rental' anyway

I think the rent of the radio isn't what drivers pay for, it's the messages (jobs) that come out of it.

Before we went to data, driver's could buy thier own radio's, and I liked it because when they went wrong they didn't drive me mad to fix them. |
