These uv5r sound interesting but being ham do they need a license even if they are on pmr446? My knowledge of this is currently somewhere around 1992 when I was last reasonably involved. I had a share of a pmr round the nc500 a couple of years ago and it wasn't awful.

Soooo. If that has a car kit I could use my burner through the car then?

Same thing I use and it works pretty well out of the car and with line of sight, but not great when chucked on the passenger seat or trying to talk to someone in a valley. The car kit would suit your external aerial well too Lambert. I do have a CRTone mini CB in the ash-tray slot, but as I keep loosing the roof aerial (for some reason :whistle: ), its a bit useless.
I also carry a set of 4 Midland semi-professional PMR446 handhelds which are generally more reliable and seem to work better in small convoys overall.

I've also got a couple of PMR446 sets, a Motorola T6222 and a UV-5R fitted with a Nagoya antenna. Have used the Motorola a lot while skiing and it would have more than enough range for an off-road day.
The UV-5R glows in the dark and picks up signals from parallel universes.:woohoo:

The UV5R is basically illegal unless operated on Amateur radio frequencies with an amateur radio licence.
It does tune to PMR446 but as it is not PMR446 certified and transmits with too much power it is not legal. However your chances of being caught.....
I use them for amateur (I have a licence), maritime (I have a licence) and military (I have an operating certificate). We had the Royal Corps of Signals arrive at work to do a Reserves recruitment day. They had wagons full of the latest gucci comms kit and were using......UV5Rs for person to person chat. Apparently because they are only £15 each in bulk its easier to give them to the Squaddies and let them break them or lose them in the field that in is to let them out with the expensive kit.

Ok. Not having licences it's just down to either a pmr or a midland 42. Time to check the bank balance.
