Using a PMR device

To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the
same channel and CTCSS/DCS code (see chapter "13.7 CTCSS
(Continious Tone Coded Squelch System) / DCS (Digital Coded
Squelch)" and within receiving range (up to max. 10 km in open field).
Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in
operation share these channels(total 8 channels). Therefore, privacy is
not garanteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the
conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal)
you need to press the PTT -button
12
.
Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you
can speak into the microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the
same channel and in standby mode (not transmitting) will hear your
message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting before
you can reply to the message. At the end of each transmission the unit
will send a beep if the Roger Beep is enable (see chapter "13.12 Roger
Beep On/Off" ). To reply, just press the
the microphone.
If 2 or more users press the
time the receiver will receive only the stongest signal
and the other signal(s) will be supressed. Therefore you
should only transmit a signal (press
when the channel is free.
The range of radio waves is strongly affected by
obstacles such as buildings, concrete/metal structures,
the unevenness of the landscape, woodland, plants, ...
This implies that the range between two or more PMR's
may in some extreme cases be restricted to a maximum
of a few tens of meters. You will soon notice that PMR
works best when there is a minimum of obstacles
between users.
