7Using a PMR device

To communicate between PMR devices they need to be set all on the same channel and within receiving range (up to max. 5 km in open field). Since these devices use free frequency bands (channels), all devices in operation share these channels(total 8 channels). Therefore, privacy is not guaranteed. Anybody with a PMR set to your channel can overhear the conversation. If you want to communicate (transmitting a voice signal) you need to press the PTT -button.

Once this button pressed, the device will go into transmit mode and you can speak into the microphone. All other PMR devices in range , on the same channel and in standby mode (not transmitting) will hear your message. You need to wait until the other party stops transmitting
