Very compact PMR446 radio

Daegerty

Hai lads, I'm looking to buy a pair of PMR446 radios but I want ones that are very small

I remember years ago Oregon Scientific did make a very small pmr radio, but nowhere to be found now. also would prefer if it runs off AAA's and not too expensive. any ideas?

I like the look of that Dynascan AD-09

Finding a place to buy one seems to be hard though, all foreign sites that probably don't ship to Ireland or Uk.

Those yokes are actually more than I'd hoped for. 400-470MHz 2w should be able to program in some GMRS and FRS channels

Now I thinking I might just buy a FT-60 if I can find one for a decent price around the place

2W in Ireland and programming channels? Only with a licence.

430 ... 440 MHz is Amateur band.

PMR446 is NOT GMRS/FRS (which isn't legal in Europe). PMR446 is 8 fixed channels, built in Aerial, CE mark and 0.5W.

The PMR446 is not legal* in USA as FRS is different frequency set and also a maximum of 0.5W.

(*It might be legal under a Ham licence in USA as USA HAM band is 430 .. 460 I think)

There are also other programmable channel higher than 0.5W UHF handsets that can be used with a Private Mobile Radio licence.

A pmr resource

increased power and converting from fixed antennas to external are indeed all naughty......so is drinking after hours.
