I am using non-licensed PMR446 equipment and I would like to upgrade to better quality licensed radio equipment, how do I go about obtaining a licence through Ofcom?
An application to Ofcom has to be made. There is a link on our two way radio page in order to download the application form. Please feel free to ask us any questions with regards to your application as we have vast experience in completing these forms and we can go through it with you over the telephone. The application process is usually complete within 20 working days. I currently have a Motorola branded radio system which is ageing, if I purchase new non-Motorola equipment will it operate with the old system. Yes it will be fully compatible as it is the frequency and CTCSS that pair the equipment, we will require a copy of your licence in order to make this happen. Obviously, the new equipment is far more advanced now and some feature may be inhibited, however we can discuss this and make you aware of the limitations.
