  == Few mistakes ==  PMR446 no longer requires a fixed antenna(in the uk at least). But the erp must not exceed 500mW.  Repeaters are indeed not allowed, but gateways are not ruled out(in the uk at least).  Handheld kit is not all thats allowed. There are desktop units such as the intec 5070       p.s This procedure is odd. Even now im not sure if I'm doing this right. What is wrong with a forum displayed in the usual manner.
