We investigate the latest budget priced PMR 446 radio. Is this the one you’ve been waiting for?

I can’t believe how many PMR 446 radios have appeared recently! To say that this licence free service hasn’t been available that long the manufacturers have excelled themselves and this must prove the popularity of the service. I have been fortunate enough to be loaned a set of Maxon RS-446 radios complete with desktop charger and Ni-Mh battery packs for another great rig test!
