Picked these up recently from eBay, Floureon TC200 16 Channel PMR446 radios. Costing only £14.99 delivered (And I've seen a four pack for £26.99).
Specs:
16 channel PMR446
CTCSS
Scan Facility
LED Torch
Call Tones
LCD Display
Monitor/Squelch Defeat
USB Charging for NiMH batteries (Not Included)
Available in a choice of colours
Hi/Lo Power setting 500mw/1 watt (Cough, Cough)
A Hi/Lo power setting in the menu suggests these may not meet the required specifications....!
UPDATE January 2020: The latest versions of this radio appear to have the HI/LO power option removed from the menu to comply with the PMR446 specification.
For those having problems turning the Roger Beep off, press the UP arrow GENTLY when turning the radio on. If you press the button too hard I think you end up pressing the up and down at the same time and it doesn't deactivate the Roger Beep.
On first inspection these appear to be great little radios for the money and ideal for children to play with. Having the full 16 channels means you can be sure of a clear channel and if you use channels 9-16 you are much less likely to be listened to or suffer from interference.
More to come on these little radios in the near future!
How have you found these. I need a new set to replace some cobra mt550 handsets. The squelch doesn't turn in so all I get is white noise. If these are good I'll buy a pack.
ReplyDeleteThese are great little radios and are available on eBay and Amazon. They work very well for legal PMR446 radios.
