What
are licence-free walkies?:
They are known as the PMR-446 and they work between the frequency
band 446 - 446.1 MHz. They can have a broadcast power Maxima
of 500mW, have an approximated reach of 5 km in optimal conditions.
The
PMR (Private Mobile Radio) 446 service has been introduced
following the adoption by the CEPT/ERC1 of the Decisions ERC/DEC/(98)
25, 26
and 27 which comply member
states to:
a)
Set aside the band 446.0 - 446.1 MHz for a PMR 446 service,
with a channel plan based on 12,5kHz spacing:
F1 = 446,00625 MHz.
F2 = 446,01875 MHz.
F3 = 446,03125 MHz.
F4 = 446,04375 MHz.
F5 = 446,05625 MHz.
F6 = 446,06875 MHz.
F7 = 446,08125 MHz.
F8 = 446,09375 MHz.
b) Users do not require a licence to use PMR 446 radios
c) Allow the free circulation and use of PMR 446 equipment
using frequencies in the 446.0 - 446.1 MHz band and complying
with the European technical standard ETS 300 296.
d) The equipment shall use only integral antenna and an effective
radiated power not exceeding 500mW
This
use has the consideration of common use.
It
is used mainly for commercial or recreational activities,
being able to enjoy economic, fast, trustworthy, simple and
practical a communication.
It
is the most reasonable way to remain in constant contact since
license is not needed to use this portable equipment, that
can be taken to any part.
The
following accessories can be used with PMR 446 radios: external
microphones including VOX type microphones;
earphones, headphones and external loudspeakers; and DC power
sockets, charge sockets and battery packs.
The accessories must be connected by appropriate sockets installed
by the manufacturer at the time of manufacture and conformance
evaluation and their use must not affect the RF characteristics
of the radios.
In
all cases, the use of these facilities must not cause any
change to, or effect on, the performance characteristics of
the PMR 446 radio, as permitted under the Wireless Telegraphy
(Exemption) Regulations (SI 1999/930).
