Default Ham radios as High quality, cheap alternatives to azaan receivers..
Assalamu alaikum

I am a regular viewer of this forum. I thought I should post something that may be of some use to others inshallah.
I have been regularly ordering ham radios as azaan receivers for friends and relatives in my locality (especially before Ramadan). The standard azaan receivers from the masajid cost £80-100. You can also buy the Nabishi ones which I have done in the past. Many of these are of low quality material and stop working after a few years.

From my own experience, over the years I have ordered a few different hand-held transceivers from HongKong via ebay e.g

Puxing PX-777 uhf (very good audio, but high pitch sound from the charger)
Feidaxin FD-268B uhf, (audio not as good)
Weierwei vev-3288s uhf (basically same as PX-777 i.e very good audio, but no Charger noise)

I have found them to be of very high quality plastic and would usually order the Weierwei vev-3288s uhf which you can buy for £44 incl. P&P.

I hope others find this information to be useful. In any case please make dua for me.

Jazakallah

Yes, thats the one. It also comes in red. Also this seller (radiobanker) is the one I usually buy from. Delivery time is usually one and a half weeks and you won't find it any cheaper than this.

Brother you just dial in the frequency the masjid in your area is transmitting with. You can also use a scan option but I haven't figured out how that works.

Hmm. Sounds tricky to me. Brother do you mean its illegal in your country to have a ham radio?
In the uk the masajid must have a license to transmit. Also I would only use these radios to receive a transmission as transmitting on them would illegal. As a result I would not give them to kids who are likely to press the transmit button.

Hope that helps.

Wassalam.
