Radio transmitters, including two-way radios, and the VHF or UHF frequencies they operate on, are governed, licensed, and coordinated by Ofcom in the UK. Two-way radios can operate on either licensed or license-free (PMR446) frequencies. Here we explain more about license-free radios.
License-free radios are generally lower powered, handheld radios with a maximum power output of 0.5 watts, resulting in a shorter range.
Depending on the surrounding terrain, the range can vary from a few hundred meters in a built-up area to a few kilometers in open ground.
Use license-free radios for business or personal use on any of eight UHF frequencies, both in the UK and across the European Union.
PMR stands for Personal Mobile Radio
446 refers to the UHF frequency range 446MHz on which license-free radios are permitted to operate.
In the USA and Canada, the closest equivalent to PMR446 is FRS or GMRS
