Floureon FC200 PMR446 UPDATE

It would appear that the brilliant 16 channel Floureon FC200 PMR446 handhelds have had a firmware update recently.

Users are reporting the the radios no longer have the Hi/Lo power option in the menu meaning that the radios will only do the standard 500mw output power instead on the 1W output on earlier versions.

These radios is still brilliant, work extremely well and are worth every penny so don't be put off but it's just something to consider when buying them from now on.

User 'Billbot' on the CT forum emailed Floureon about this change and got this response:

"As for your question, The High / Low power problem you mentioned, at the beginning, each of our walkie talkies had this feature, but due to the regulations of the radio communication department, we had to delete this feature and change the product description.

Best Regards

FLOUREON UK"
