I recall several years back that the FRS radios in the US were similar to the PMR446 radios in Europe. They were analog, limited to 0.5 watts, maybe even non-removable antennas, etc. However, I just read that PMR446 has DMR. Has anybody used the DMR PMR446 devices? How well does analog and digital co-exist?
With the changes in the US, I understand that FRS is still analog, but allows up to 2 watts. In Europe, did they remain at 0.5 watts and add DMR or did the increase the allowable transmit power level, too?
