While listening on 8om the other night, I heard mention of Internet linked
repeaters on the PMR446 frequencies (in particular one in Birmingham) and
decided to have a listen for any near my QTH.

Nothing was heard for several days- athough the "watch" wasn't continous,
but there was a brief signal last night and, from the accent, it could well
have been a repeater.

I know these were common at one stage and believe it had been established
they were not illegal, but I sort of assumed they had faded away.

Anyone know of any activity in their area?

I've no urge to use 446 for that, I'm just curious.

yes here in glasgow their is one witch uses 446pmr ch 5 and tone 5
(446.05625mhz & 79.7hz) think its run
from somewhere in hamilton you can visit the web page for the software
to make your own gate up or just listen in
EQSO software . a think its ok too use and from what i see a lot of uk
ham operators use it .
http://www.446user.co.uk/ is a good place to start

Don't be silly, Walt. That would be Aeronautical Mobile, and we're not
allowed /AM in the UK.

I didn't realise that 446 EQSO was still around, I'd assumed it had fizzled
out. I'm a bit surprised that standard 446 handhelds have the range to make
the system viable but it seems they do, unless some "mods" are being done.

Thanks for the info.

Given the right area and 'use', low power UHF handies can have a
surprising (and surprisingly inconsistent sometimes!) range.

Good point, why not check and report back?

I know that some of the "balloon boys" us the small datamodules (on 433.92 I
think but maybe somewhere else) which don't need a licence and it is claimed
they are legal on balloons. Not checked the regs myself but the balloon
flights have been very public and I've not heard of any issues.

Not related to Internet linking, or /AM, but this is interesting:

*There are a number of very low-power ultra-high frequency (UHF)
channels between 434.04 to 434.79 MHz that are available for general
non-specific short-range licence-exempt equipment use within the UK. The
licence exemption details for these and other non-specific SRD channels
are shown within the UK Interface Requirement 2030. We are aware that it
is possible to purchase hand-held equipment that combines the Analogue
PMR446 channels with these UHF SRD channels. Our investigations have
discovered that the identified combined PMR446 / SRD equipment is CE
Marked. This means that it can be sold legally within Europe. It is
assumed that the equipment also meets the relevant UK IR2030
requirements, e.g. has a maximum ERP of 10mW, and can therefore be used
on a licence exempt basis within the UK. We realise that some of the SRD
channels align with the input frequencies of certain UK Amateur Radio
Repeaters. We understand the frustration that this is causing some
Amateur Repeater users. We are therefore working to address this problem
in the longer term. In the meantime, however, we suggest that a short
call to the SRD user informing them of the interference problem and a
polite request for them to select an alternative channel might be the
simplest solution.*

*PMR446 Base Stations
Both Analogue and Digital PMR446 equipment must be used on a mobile
basis only for it to meet the licence-exempt operation requirements
within the UK. Please note that PMR446 equipment that is designed for
base station use, or mobile equipment that is configured as a base
station, e.g. as an Internet Gateway, is unlikely to meet the
licence-exempt operation requirements. Please see the ‘Use of non
licence-exempt compliant equipment’ section on the next page.*

*Use of non licence-exempt compliant equipment
You may be committing an offence if you operate equipment, including
equipment that meets the requirements of the R&TTE Directive, within
446.0 to 446.2 MHz that does not meet the PMR446 licence-exempt
operation requirements.*

<snipped for brevity>

Be aware that "licence-exempt" does not mean "you can do what you like".
It may well be that the regs prohibit certain things, such as aeronautical
mobile.

I'm not suggesting you need to find something that says you can use PMR446
aeronautical mobile, simply that you need to check there is nothing in the
PMR446 regs that says you can't.

If you read the other posts, that's exactly what I said - there's
nothing in the regs that says you can't use SRD or PMR446 /AM.

I suspect you are quoting 'guidance sheets' rather than the regs.

The authority on what communications equipment may be used on various
types of aircraft in the UK isn't Ofcom, it's the CAA. The
regulations in document CAP393 will be the ones covering balloons,
gliders etc.

quite right. That's why the register launched it's balloon in spain and the
tracking and telemetry was done in the amateur bands.

I would think that it would be a rather important item in the regs, too
important to leave out of the guuidance sheets. Plus, I remember it
being mentioned that hangliders should be using PMR446, rather than
pirating 2m.

IR2009 for PMR446 devices does not mention airborne use, and since it is

There is even stuff in the SRD regs that says you can!!! (but not in

Those sound more reliable sources than the guidance notes, thank you.

Not that I've immediate plans to try either, although the balloon project
does have a certain appeal.

And make it so nobody will know it's a call sign unless the fact that it is
comes up in discussion.

Or maybe that's just an accidental effect.

So you saw this bit?

"it was also formerly applied by Highlanders to (non-Gaelic-speaking)
Lowlanders"

To a Highlander, WE are Sassenachs as well...

No jumping the gun, to a Highlander, anyone from the Central Lowlands or
further south is a Sassenach.

After his protracted and vindictive vendetta targetted at me, why is Len
GM0ONX
strangely silent about the racist remark quoted below?

Perhaps there are two reasons ...

1. Len was not taking the high moral ground, but was merely using my remarks
exhorting him to be a better person as a stick with which to beat me

2. Len is a hypocrite who changes his face depending upon from which
direction the
wind blows.

3. (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!) As a representative of the RSCB
he has run away
with his tail between his legs as the result of David Taylor's excellent
historical exposition of the RSCB

What is 8om?
Did you mean near your 10-20, 10-4?

An eqso linked 0.5w 446 repeater, that'll have just a little bit more
coverage and use than a D-Star repeater

Now now... to be fair, the D-Star repeater's coverage is fairly good -
just sod all use if you're mobile.
