A conversation showing how good PMR446 coverage can be when on the move. In this video, I'm chatting with Paul (Jollyroger 1972) in Bristol on the Retevis RT95 and a Panorama collinear mobile antenna.
Admittedly, Paul has a decent base station setup but the reason I decided to post this online was because of how solid the coverage was. I would expect the two of us to pick each other up but the reception was without a glitch or any picket-fencing for twenty minutes of driving. Nice! Thanks to Paul for participating in this and keeping the conversation going for the whole journey.

NOTE: While driving in the UK using a 2-way radio is legal, I always avoid it when possible and would recommend you do the same. See the link below for the uk.gov legislation.

Thanks for watching and please let me know in the comments if you use PMR446 channel 8 in the UK or beyond. It would be great to hear from you.
