Points of interest

Because it is unlicensed, the transmission power is limited - in very vast, high-interference or open terrain situations, range may be limited compared to professional licensed radios.

PMR446 often means shared use: anyone can come out on those frequencies so less exclusive channel than license use.

Check that all accessories (such as headset, earpiece, external microphone) are compatible with the connectors of this model.

Note if you need additional headphones/head set and if the device's jack is compatible.
