The closest I can get to them is as follows: 446.0000 PMR446 Ch1 446.0125 PMR446 Ch2 446.0250 PMR446 Ch3 446.0375 PMR446 Ch4 446.0500 PMR446 Ch5 446.0625 PMR446 Ch6 446.0750 PMR446 Ch7 446.0875 PMR446 Ch8

Just looking at the frequency counter against my DynaScan PMR and it says, for example, 446.092/446.093 on Ch.8, or 446.067/446.068 on Channel 6 . . . The little Cobra reads a clear 446.092 on Channel.8 But I got shocking Feedback when I keyed-up the Cobra on 8, because the Dynascan was nearby on the desk, despite the Dynascan being RX on Ch.9. Obviously a "bit wide" at very short range. Not that I would USE the Dynascans on anything other than 1 to 8 . . . of course not . . . just because the channels go up to about Ch.80, on 431 Mhz . . . at 2w

I did this with a Yaesu VX-7 a few years ago: UHF PMR446 Chan. 01 .... 446.00625 MHz NFM = 446.0050 UHF PMR446 Chan. 02 .... 446.01875 MHz NFM = 446.0200 UHF PMR446 Chan. 03 .... 446.03125 MHz NFM = 446.0300 UHF PMR446 Chan. 04 .... 446.04375 MHz NFM = 446.0450 UHF PMR446 Chan. 05 .... 446.05625 MHz NFM = 446.0550 UHF PMR446 Chan. 06 .... 446.06875 MHz NFM = 446.0700 UHF PMR446 Chan. 07 .... 446.08125 MHz NFM = 446.0800 UHF PMR446 Chan. 08 .... 446.09375 MHz NFM = 446.0950

So it must be a dream or a figment of the imagination.

As usual, here in Britain, we've got the meanest, smallest most-restrictive radio legislation. My PMR has "Channel 86" curerently showing on its display. . . . . But that doesn't exist so it must be my imagination, or bad eyesight. Or Channel nine on your Intek 505 could even be one of the 10mW LPD433 settings.

The Police move on to tactical frequencies and encrypted TETRA but they're so broke they issue sets that can be intercepted on a �4.95 Kiddie-set from the local toyshop. That's priceless and could only happen in Britain.

"next left" etc etc Get that around here a lot. the most stupid use I have heard so far was a slinger (also known as banksman) using it for a tower crane. These guys were moving tons of kit around the site using a pmr radio & the consequences of another using passing the site with a 5 watt radio when they are on milliwatts is not worth thinking of Incidentally the River Police on the Broads use marine band. It's a good listen if anyone is around here. Drunks, dangerously handled boats, over loaded boats, fires it's all there.

They can apply for a bloomin business license!

It only costs a few pounds & there is nothing in the rules any where that says you cannot use it for general chat or anything about the number of radios permitted. All that's required to get licensed is a cheque & completion of a form.
