PMR446 range

I keep hearing people say it's all about the power of the radio,i say no it's not,antenna and the height of the antenna is 100% what pmr446 is about,you could have 100 watts running into a huge beam or collinear but if that antenna is not above everything like roof tops then it just won't work,never forget uhf is line of sight so the antenna needs to be up as high as you can get it.

Anytone AT-588 and Yaesu FT-1907

Both radios are UHF and cover pmr446,they are the only two mobile uhf radios that have pmr446 on ebay,both are under £150,the Anytone AT-588 is a new radio that's not been out long so i can't comment on it but the yaesu ft-1907 is a nice radio,if i was starting out on pmr446 i would buy it.

Here is the links to ebay to buy them ANYTONE-AT-588 Link  Yaesu-FT-1907 Link

Don't waste your time with crap handhelds that only get you out a few roads and away,buy one of the radios above and get a base station pmr446 antenna to go with it and get out for miles.

PMR446 base station radio

I have some good news everyone,i was talking to someone the other day in the radio game who is from the UK and he told me he is considering getting some custom made dual band vhf/uhf base stations radios that would cover 2 meters, pmr446 and 70cm for less then £100,he said they would only push 2watts and have ctcss,dcs,repeater split,vox,1750hz tone burst,100 channels memory,time out timer and more,that is just what we need a nice cheap dual band base station radio,he also said it would have a built in power supply and have a 12 volt input so you could take it mobile,this is great news and i can't wait for them to go on sale.

PMR446 in Yorkshire

I've noticed it's getting more and more used around where in live in Yorks,here's a great idea i had to promote pmr446,it would take a big group of pmr446 users from all over the UK,someone could design small card size leaflets promoting pmr446 and all the uses of pmr446 could print say 100 which wouldn't cost much at all and post them in their local area,we could even have a poster designed,pmr446 is lacking promotion,here's another way to help promote pmr446,make some videos like ads and post them on youtube but under different tags so people will see them even if they are not looking for them,now that argos has stopped selling pmr446 radios,pmr446 will start to go the same way as cb radio if we don't start to get the word out there to people.
