Legally/officially, you MUST NOT use any PMR frequency on any amateur radio for transmissions - not even if you are a licensed and not even for emergencies! Only the official PMR radios are allowed on PMR frequencies - for everyone. That means, there is no legal "programming" of PMR channels as you're trying to do it her
It might be unlikely that you'll get "caught" but it remains illegal. Even if the amateur radio is correctly set to 0,5 watts output and everything. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nigel A.
