Using PMR446 Radio Effectively: A Beginners' Guide

by David Howard

A complete description on how to use the PMR446 licence-free radio system effectively, whether professionally, event management or simply for a family picnic. These used to be known as Walkie Talkies, but they have evolved and are now better described as Personal Communications Devices. PMR446 radios come in two flavours - analogue and digital (dPMR446). Both are covered. The book includes a description of the key feature which will help you on buying the right radios so they do what you want them to. PMR446 is used in UK and Europe but as the book focuses on usage, rather than the technicalities, it is useful to people in other countries that have similar systems (Family Radio in USA for example). There is a section on alternative radio technologies that might want to consider with, or instead of, PMR446, including professional DMR/PMR, Amateur Radio (Ham Radio), Citizens' Band (CB) an Network Radios
