Talk:PMR446

message: Is the use of PMR446 legal in Russia, or is there an equivalent for private persons to use (such as during a trip in wilderness without mobile telephony coverage)? -84.115.129.76 (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Well?  Is there or isn't there a digital mode? How widespread is it, which countries authorize it? It was hinted at in the article but in a very obscure way. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Digital PMR 446

message: It would seem unlikely that PMR446 HTs would be popular with North American ham operators, since they would not work with repeaters, have an unusual selection of fixed channels,  they have a fixed antenna, rather low power compared to a ham HT, and a limited selection of accessories. Theoretically operable unde the amateur radio rules, but not common. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The problem is that if I search 'dPMR' if gives the PMR446 page? dPMR is not PMR446. There is a subset of dPMR called dPMR446 but dPMR itself need a much more complete explanation. dPMR should not re-direct here. --Vharywolf (talk) 12:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: This statement was added by an IP editor, and reverted by a bot.  It was unsourced, so I've moved it here for discussion:
:"In Italy you have to pay an annual fee of 12€ which allows you to use up to 15 PMR446 devices. "
What about licensing fees in this article, anyways? --Lexein (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usage worldwide 

message: You know, if someone had said "These channel spacings at 125 kHz, not 12.5 kHz, and we need an extra 0 in the frequencies", I wouldn't have reverted this so many times.  Nearly always, unexplained number tweaks are vandalism - it really helps to leave an edit comment to explain your changes. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Edit comments

message: Why do Norway and Sweden have KDR 444 short-distance radio services, in addition to PMR?  These are very similar to PMR 446 and seem to be unique to the Scandanavian penninsula. The Norwegian telecoms regulator says the bulletin for KDR 444 was issued in 2003, which must be after the establishment of PMR.  Does anyone know why this additional service was needed? --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: PMR and KDR

message: PMR446 no longer requires a fixed antenna(in the uk at least). But the erp must not exceed 500mW.
Repeaters are indeed not allowed, but gateways are not ruled out(in the uk at least).
Handheld kit is not all thats allowed. There are desktop units such as the intec 5070

replies: text: Citations for all this would be very helpful.  The reason it doesn't work like a forum is because it's an encyclopedia, not a forum. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Few mistakes 

message: Added link to ECC decision (15)05 from 3. July of 2015. which changes the regulatory aspect a bit. It would be good is someone who know what he's going could go through the article and update it to correspond to the newest standard.

thread_title:  New changes from 3rd July of 2015 

message: A recent edit added units to every single figure in the frequency tables. I think this isn't the norm, as seen at Frequency_allocation.
Please can somebody shed some light on this area of formatting? I can't find any specific examples in the style guide.

thread_title:  Units in tables 

message: The current article says:
:The best known long distance record is 333 mi (535.8 km) from Blyth in the United Kingdom to Almere, Netherlands.[5]
However Canal77 says:
:La mayor distancia alcanzada conocida con un PMR446 se hizo entre Canarias y Portugal el día 18 de Julio del año 2012 a las 9 de la noche aproximadamente aprovechando una apertura troposférica. Se alcanzó una distancia de 1.611 Km aproximadamente entre el norte de la isla de Tenerife y el norte de Portugal.
I guess this is not authoritative enough, but somebody may want to find a proper reference and include it in the article.--Error (talk) 10:20, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

message: How do drone pilots operate PMR446 radios?
I imagine that piloting requires both hands.
Voice-activated?
