OK non so a quanti può interessare, ma se avete una radio PMR o avete intenzione di prenderne una, date un'occhiata al Progetto PMR.

Midland G9 Pro and Retevis H777D.
I've been playing around with PMR radios for a week and I'm really enjoying it.
Plus walking up and down the hills nearby is really good training for the hiking plans I have for this spring and summer.

@Shine_McShine @logout Si lo dices por usar walkies libres (#PMR446), recomiendo echar un vistazo a la web http://canal77pmr.com/index.php que, aunque centrada en el #Canal77PMR, canal de radio para emergencias en montaña, contiene información muy útil.
Por cierto, otra opción libre del uso de licencia de #radioaficionado de la que podríamos hablar es la #CB o #BandaCiudadana. -
I have spent about an hour explaining ham radio to 11-year olds at the CEIP Sant Gabriel school in Alacant. Before the session, they had a questionnaire and my explanation was built on their replies. Then we contacted with OE5HWM who was portable on #SOTA on 20 m (Xiegu G90, 9:1 and 16.2-m wire) and with a local ham on 70 cm. I was amazed at the interest and how much they wanted to know about everything, and had a lot of fun. Then we played with #PMR446 radios they brought.

A bonus with activating #CTCSS *and* #tonesquelch (beware, its also possible to also set just CTCSS on TX and leave RX with no tone which may or may not be what you want) is the direct conversion RX on the #Baofeng with near 0 selectivity (these flaws are all "covered up" with DSP) no longer makes a racket when my car key fob is transmitting, as there is no CTCSS tone present to open squelch (maybe this is why #Retevis always activate it on their similarly priced radios?) #PMR446 #UHF #radio

@richardnosworthy I bought kenwood #pmr446 for the kids, but never spoke to others on pmr
Is there any protocol for these sort of open contacts?

I don't know if after the València flash flood catastrophe anyone used #pmr446 equipment to communicate when conventional communications stopped working. This map, generated with heywhatsthat.com, indicates, by colouring them in red, the areas that would be accessible (in a straight line and without obstacles) in #pmr446 communications from the roof of the building where the post office is located in Paiporta, to illustrate the effectiveness of this alternative means of communications.

This is why you should be careful what you use #PMR446 for - The middle aged, middle class woman is lucky she is only being roasted on YouTube by #radio scanner enthusiasts for not letting her husband speak (although its possible the battery is run down on his set hence the beeps), she's already divulged that one or both will be away from home due to what appears to be a medical appointment #BadOPSEC

🆕 blog! “Walkie Talkie Review (ZX-808)”
★★★⯪☆I am easily influenced. At EMF Camp, I saw my friends Skylar and Cameron using some nifty walkie-talkies out in the field. Skye (patiently) explained to me the joys of PMR446 and - because I was quite drunk I hastily bought some radios on Amazon. Hey, they were on special - £30 for a pair! […]

Walkie Talkie Review (ZX-808)
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/07/walkie-talkie-review-zx-808/I am easily influenced. At EMF Camp, I saw my friends Skylar and Cameron using some nifty walkie-talkies out in the field. Skye (patiently) explained to me the joys of PMR446 and - because I was quite drunk I hastily bought some radios on Amazon.
Hey, they were on special - £30 for a pair!
After a few days of use, I've come to the conclusion that they're… basically fine? My main reason for buying them was that they did USB-C recharging (we live in the future now). They didn't come with charging cables or an electrical plug, which is good from an e-Waste perspective. In fact, the whole package is pretty bare-bones. You get the handsets, a belt clip for them, and an instruction leaflet. That's it.
Interface
Pretty crappy! But it works. A cheap LCD screen backlit by two LEDs. No OLED panels or multi-pixel screens - just a bunch of black and white icons.
The interface for changing channels is a bit weird. Lots of stabbing rubbery buttons and trying to remember which one accepts the selection. But it is the sort of thing you'll do once and then leave. Turning the unit on and off is as simple as twisting the knob at the top.
Press the "Call" button and the other handset rings (you can choose between 10 different bloopy ringtones). Press the PTT button and your voice is transmitted. There's also a "VOX" mode which transmits whenever it hears your voice.
Oh, there's also a fairly crappy "torch" which is a weak-ish white LED.
When you release the talk button there is an (optional) beep - so the other party knows you have finished talking.
Range
The PMR446 band is open for anyone to use. So you don't pay anything to make or receive calls. But you don't get much range either. The product description says:
TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator ) technology, ensures the stability and effectiveness of transmission. The walkie talkies for adults long range can reach 5km in open areas with no sight obstruction. If in cities or towns,you could talk and hear clearly without noise within 1.5km.
Is that true? Liz and I conducted a couple of experiments in an urban environment to see how well they coped.
- 1Km - at best we each heard a burst of static
- 500m - enough signal for the call alert, but no voice
- 430m - crackly voice, just about good enough to hear
- 250m - clear voice, perfect reception
Even with me sat at the top of the house near a window, that was about the best we could do.
Of course, there's not much point using these in a city where there's good mobile phone reception. How do they fare in the wide open space of a park?
We went down to our local woods and wandered away from each other.
- 1Km - enough signal for the call alert, but no voice
- 700m - crackly voice, just about good enough to hear
- 500m - clear voice, a little static
- 275m - clear voice, perfect reception
As expected, better when far away from metal structures and lots of stray signals. Perhaps if we were both on top of hills, with nothing between us, we'd get 1.5Km - but I doubt it.
Disadvantages
Other than the range and the UI, the main disadvantage of PMR446 is that it is analogue. Voice quality is adequate, but nothing stellar. There's a fair amount of hiss and crackle depending on the environment.
Although the Digital Coded Squelch allows for hundreds of different channels without interference, they're all unencrypted. So don't say anything you want to keep private.
There's a fairly stiff belt clip on the back, with a small hole if you want to hook it to something.
It takes the weird double earpiece / mic connector so beloved of these devices. No standard 3.5mm and certainly no Bluetooth.
Should you get some?
Are you often in a field far away from mobile signal? Do you enjoy saying "over" a lot? Are you preparing for the collapse of civilisation which still, somehow, has USB-C cables?
If so, these are for you!
Useful to have in a go-bag, and probably handy if you're on holiday somewhere without great phone coverage. And, of course, lots of fun pretending to be on the A-Team or something.

Ein freies Funkgerät.
Dar jeder kaufen und verwenden.
#pmr446 #freenetfunk -
It had been inactive for a few months, but an illegal high-power echolink-style station is again active around IM98pw in #PMR446 channel 14 tone 12 (100 Hz) [I hear it from IM98ri, 66 km away, imagine the power]. It is connected to a #Zello room called Canal 14 Banda Ciudadana. If you happen to be around there, do not ever think of teaching them a #PMR446 lesson by disturbing their network by freely and legally using channel 14/12 with a certified 500 mW handheld.
