intercom?

No PMR 446 is the specification

It is supposed to be an unlicenced frequency accross europe, so anyone can use these radios. (Useful if touring) The problem you have is when riding as a group, you need to be able to hear each other, so that means using the same frequencies, channels and codes etc.

So for that reason buying a radio that conforms to a common specification is the only way to go. PMR446 does however have problems. doesn't work well in built up areas and has a low power output. I suppose the output is deliberately low to stop possible interference with others. but when riding with a group you could end up a few miles apart very quickly so I personally would be tempted by the 5w versions you are not supposed to use. But like I say who is going to catch you.


Again, treat this post as suspect, I know nothing

Try Intaride.

Brilliant piece of kit. I've got the bike to bike set up with the higher spec radios.

VOX setting, portable, the lot. Much cheaper than some other "better" makes.

Ask for Peter and say that Duncan from Edinburgh sent you.
