I say PMR446 as I used Amateur 144MHZ and 433Mhz gear for this but years ago (we all had Ham licences)
Boats have big windows so should be fine fro Short ranges ____________________ Dave

Yes they will. I have a pair and when my mate and I are in convoy we use them rather than phones.
Bit overkill for on one boat mind even with a 70 footer.
I can hear my wife from one end of my boat to the other even without a hearing aid or a megaphone ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

We used Motorola radios on our drill ships, semilsubmersibles and jack-up drill rigs. Sometime in the bowels there was a bit of signal loss but they were normally useable.
As said, probably redundant if you can speak to the other person by quietly shouting. 🤣
Radio conversation where only one side can talk at anytime if fraught with problems too. 😊
I think one has to use call signs rather than names and you cannot swear so normal conversation is impossible for Scottish folk. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 100 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
