Advantages: Communicate, for free, in any condition
Disadvantages: Instruction's bill not very user friendly

...PMR in an acronym that means Personal Mobile Radio. Along with the CB 27Mhz band, nowadays there are also other bands, for instance on 433 and 43 Mhz, exploited for private and service communications.. The 43 Mhz band is exclusively used for professional matters as hunt, fishing, traffic care, security, ect. and needs a special licence. The maximum output power for these kind of devices could not exceed 4Watts. The 433 Mhz band is used for private and free communcations. This band is called LPD band (Low Power Devices), has got 60 channels, it is not required a licence and the output power MUST not exceed 10mW (1 mW = 1/1000 of Watt). With this kind of radios, communications are granted in the round of approximately 500m without obstacles or less.. The PMR band radios work on 446 Mhz, devices having 8 channels and the maximum...

Recieving You loud and Clear Bum Nugget

Advantages: Hours of Fun for Me, Great Features
Disadvantages: With A Walkie Talkie this good none.

...don't tell you where to get them and how much they cost, but a quick search on sites like google will tell you all that information so there??? Ok for your money you get two "Cobra microTALK MT525-2 8-channel PMR" with a range of 3Km. Using them is pretty self explanatory you slip in 4 AAA heavy duty batteries into each radio and press the power button and you are ready to start transmitting. The volume control has 8 settings from fairly quiet to quite loud, and the channel you are on is selected by pressing the channel up / down buttons. You have 8 main channels and the first 2 are apparently used by the emergency service in France. Beyond on each channel you have 36 sub channels that you can use to ensure privacy, you access these by pressing the Mode/lock button then the channel up/down buttons, an absolutely great feature if you...

Review of Cobra microTALK MT525-2 8-channel PMR

A quality robust 446 Radio from Motorola

Advantages: Robust, User Friendly, Good features
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive, no vibrate, expensive accessories

...Motorola T5512 Overview The Motorola T5512/22 is a short-range two-way radio, which operates on the PMR446 frequency giving 'up to 3km'. These radios can be used across Europe and are an ideal way to keep in contact with friends, family and colleagues for a range of activities. These radios are at home with Sports Centers, Skiing Holidays, Building Sites, Family Holidays and more. The 5512 are available singularly or as a double pack in blue. For approx. £10 more however the 5522 comes with NiCd batteries and charging pods ? well worth the extra and comes in black. I have the latter but all the features are identical except for the colour. A set of T5522's including charging pods and batteries can be had for around £80, this compared with a cost of £60 for the BT Freeways (with charger and ptt headset) and around £60...

Motorola T4502 Two-Way Radios

Advantages: Small, lightweight, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Uses 3 AAA batteries per radio, instead of a rechargable 'battery pack'.

...WARNING! -- LONG REVIEW!! -- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! ~ Alternative title (that I wanted to use) ~ Motorola (from the makers of the V3 RAZR mobile phone) T4502 (Tiny4502???) 8-channel (or 8-frequency) PMR (Professional / Personal Mobile Radio). [It's too long for the box -- LoL!] Wow, what a great little two-way radio! I've had my Nectar Card for a good while and I am also a member of a survey company called "TNS" who award points for completing surveys and you can link your "TNS" account to your Nectar Card then get your TNS points automatically transferred into Nectar Points. Recently the Nectar website (Nectar.com) did a 'Summer of Rewards' promotion where a handful of electrical goods were on sale (!! HALF PRICE !!) for a certain amount of Nectar Points. I saw that they had a two-pack (well I'm sure they had many two...

xtn446

Advantages: good clear sound, nice big buttons
Disadvantages: quite big overall

...I belive the xtn446 to be one of the best pmr446 walkie talkie available. for those of you who dont know pmr446 means license free walkie talkies. they can be used in most of europe but not the usa. pmr446 is a short-range communication system what is ideal for leisure, family or business use. the radios need no license and there are no call charges to pay. this radio provides instant communication at the touch of a button, and has primarly been developed for bussiness use. Although these radios are extremely easy to use it has a top specification: 3km range 500mw maximum power output 27 hour standby 8 frequencies 304 channels 3 voice scrambling codes voice activation - with 3 levels of sensitivity scan function edit scan list function battery and signal strength indicator programming mode key pad tone and lock...

Review of Binatone Latitude 100 8-channel PMR

WALKABOUT WITH THE TALKABOUT

Advantages: STRONG AND DURABLE
Disadvantages: ONLY 3KM RANGE (BUT AS PER ANY PMR)

...RANGE OF FEATURES You have 8 channels which is plenty for most people. Just select one and start using it. If you find that someone else is already using another set of PMR?s nearby on the same frequency then just change channels. (That is the only problem with a PMR radio is that it?s un-licenced which means anyone can listen in, however I?ve never really had a problem with this). You have the lock feature so that you can put the radio in your pocket and not change the channel in error and you also have the headphone/microphone socket for using the headset for handsfree use (great for doormen (or door people I should say)). The headset functions will vary with headsets but you can have either PTT (push to talk) or VOX (voice activated) depending upon which you require. These radios use a single stereo jack rather than the two pin...
