Excellent contacts Miles I was surprised at the distance achieved I pop on to the 8 to 8 each Sunday and some great long distance contacts are made PMR 446 is certainly making its mark all over the country that's great seeing all these video posts appearing thanks once again for a good one .👍.
Hello I wonder if anyone can help me, I'm setting up a pmr446 .5w system for a group of taxi drivers in the bristol center to help moving on to ranks, what is the best quiet channel to use of the 16 available. I shall be setting up a ctcss sub tone as well also.
You can use PMR446 for business and anything between 9 and 16 would probably be quietest but as the frequencies are all used by low power devices, anything apart from 1 or 8 would be OK too. I would go for licensed radios where you would have your own dedicated frequencies for use. Any other opinions or thoughts out there?
About as illegal as downloading an song as an MP3...A harmless crime that is not enforced at all... Why do amateurs feel the need to put down any radio activity that is not on the amateur bands?
@@pmr446 actually it does have affects. It's like shouting at peeps with a mega phone at a whisper party. Downloading a illegal mp3 doesnt prevent other listeners from listening,
@@maxprotongames A small business using 0.5 watts at a 100m radius would overpower a 25 watt signal from miles away, even then the business would be using CTCSS so would be unable to hear hobbyist activity..
@@pmr446 well let's agree to disagree, as you said it's as hobby to you, I have to deal with professional users daily and face dealing with you lots getting in my way
Brilliant!!
Used to make em.... Hope you give us the results of the antennas
5w on PMR? Im no Ham nut, but isn’t that illegal? Genuine question.

I spoke to Lee from the Combe Gibbet one Sunday last year I think.

If your on tonights ch8@8pm, I'll be able to get you from bristol
Was this video with 0.5 watt or more
No. This was probably using an ERP of about 6W.
Was illegally using an erp of about 6watts. Don't be tempted to copy this guy
Conform,comply,obey,consume!
Totally illegal, and you are self incriminating by putting it online?! seriously?

@@maxprotongames if they're professionals surely they should invest in a business setup rather than using amateur frequencies that amateurs are using?
