Using a PMR device
To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and
within receiving range (up to max. 10 km in open field). Since these devices use free
frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels).
Therefore, privacy is not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear
the conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press

The range of radio waves is strongly affected by obstacles such
as buildings, concrete/metal structures, the unevenness of the
landscape, woodland, plants,... This implies that the range
between two or more PMR 's may in some extreme cases be
restricted to a maximum of a few tens of meters. You will soon
notice that PMR works best when there is a minimum of
obstacles between users.
