TBH no-one, OFCOM won't bother to check unless you're causing interference to a paid licence user (very unlikely) and plod won't bother unless there's a crime involving walkie talkies they're looking into. So I wouldn't worry. They might not be 100% legal but no-one really cares in this day and age. If the radios look like toys there's even less chance of being bothered (I've got some like that), plus the range is usually only a mile at most anyway, regardless of power, so no-one will hear you most of the time, and only if they're listening to the right channel. If you keep on 446 PMR and don't use any other peoples frequencies you'll be fine imho..... but who is likely to stop me and check in Mid Wales?....
For years OFCOM have not been able to stop kids illegally using US FRS radios that interfere with fire brigade walkie talkies in cities - so I wouldn't worry about legally using 446 in rural Wales!TBH no-one, OFCOM won't bother to check unless you're causing interference to a paid licence user (very unlikely) and plod won't bother unless there's a crime involving walkie talkies they're looking into.
