comfy those kiddy things are quite different thing than proper walkies

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMR446

PMR446 is open for personal use

is the baofeng in hot deals good for walkie talkie use

you hear grannies talking on it doing neighbourhood watch

lmao

@Tervy most walkie talkies just limit people to pmr446

yes and their power is limited by design

even if you got a high powered sooped up baofeng you'd be fine using PMR, that's what it's there for, for non-autistic use

some countries have powerlimit on top of PMR446

so that you can use it but cant broadcast with niggawat range

and that powerlimit can "nicely" block out all "professional" stuff

source: finland used to have such powerlimit (and kind of still has)

then we have RHA68 aka "pay the fee to use the fucking air as you please

no license test required

what is quite bullshit if you think about it

powerlimit on those being around 25W for group A (organisations) and 5w for rest of us iirc

then there is countries like germany what only allow 500milliWatts on air

but yeah you are right that generaly PMR446 can be used for personal use with "basic"(read:toy) radios

without much worrying

who's gonna track me down if I don't have a license though

this is bullshit nobody tracks me down for torrents either and that's not legal here either

tervy

local radio amaterus report you and local network guys track you with vehicle

and believe me they dont have better things to do than hunt rogue radio stations

that's extreme autism

HAM circles usualy are

"their own secret club"

:D

I bet they're all fat

hence why they're called HAM

get it

please clap

👏

I just want easy two way communication in cars without using internet :(

lets but it this way how many times per week ? how long trip ?

can I buy a ham license on GearBest <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

if its one off thing then fuck that shit and those radios

if its daily thing .. get the license

it's not even per week, it's more like twice a year or something

fun fact of the day: the Helio X30 supports quad-channel memory
