Can't Afford a Raceiver

[madbutcher666]

Since I can't afford a raceiver, are we allowed to use anything else like 1 or 2 way radios? I thought I saw it somewhere that we can't but I went over the rulebook and not seeing anything on it. Am I missing it or what? Don't wanna do anything I'm not supposed to being it's my first year with NEETS.

Any 1-way radio is fine. I used to use an old hand held fire scanner with ear plugs. 2 way is a definite no-no.

Great, thanx Pill.

Hate to be a pain with the questions but does Grandview rent out raceivers or 1 way radios?

Grandview doesnt rent raceceivers. I think you might be slightly confused. The yellow raceceiver, used on Saturday night racing by the modified and late model drivers, can not be used for Sunday NEETS racing. The numbers dont reach the numbers we use for NEETS. The radio we need is larger and can be bought from Radio Shack for around $100, I believe.

The Radio shack one works great and as an added bonus it works at Nascar races to listen to your favorite driver.

:wave:I'm sure that if you have your own ear phones you can borrow one from someone in the other class. Just don't ask anybody to trade ear wax with you.
:eek:

I believe the frequency is 154.600, so as long as that can be programmed into the radio it will work.

Any 1 way radio that can pick up our channel will do, the frequency is 154.600

2 way radios are not permitted.

[madbutcher666]

Thanks for the info everyone. Much appreciated.

From what I see on the Raceceiver website, The raceceiver only receives frequencies between 450–470 MHz. (UHF)
I did not see a VHF Raceceiver on their website.

You need a VHF receiver (scanner) to receive the NEETS channel.

or a safeceiver.

i have one if anyone wants to rent it just bring your own ear buds $25

Both appear to be one way which is what you need...

The first one looks very familiar, I've seen a bunch of those around the pits, I checked the frequency on it:
Frequency Range is 29 - 54 / 137 - 174 / 406 - 512 / 806 - 956 Mhz - 154.600 is within the limits of this scanner so this looks to be a good choice..

The second one I had to check Radio Shack's website as the info wasn't available on ebay...the frequency range is:
29-54 MHz, 108-174 MHz, 380-512, 806-960 MHz (less cellular) - 154.600 is also within the limits of this scanner so this also appears to be a good choice.

Great! Thanx a ton Erin. :) And Maddawg.
