Portable radios can either be licensed or unlicensed. The benefit of using licensed portables is that your radios can have a power output of up to 5 Watts as opposed to 0.5 Watts for unlicensed radios. In a nutshell this means a lot more range. Because your signal is stronger and reaches further, it has more chance of interfering with other radio users. Therefore Ofcom, the UK licensing authority, requires UK radio users to register with them and pay a licensing fee. They then assign you frequencies that don’t interfere with other radio systems. Please see www.ofcom.org.uk for more information.

Unlicensed radios (PMR446) are a cheaper alternative and not having to deal with the hassle of licensing is also an advantage. Please see our PMR446 page for more information or call us on 0845 868 222 6 for advice.
