Tritan high powered radios can be programmed to match any other high powered radios, and the PMR446 can be matched with any other PMR licence free radios. Tritan also offer a programming Kit should you need to change the frequencies yourself.
Can I buy a radio that covers both high powered and licence free channels?
Yes, the Tritan PMR446 radio can also be programmed with the higher powered business channels, this can only be done because the licence free version has a fixed antenna, the PMR channels must still stay restricted to half a watt, licensed channels can work at up to five watts. These units are ideal if you are working on different sites with different radios, or work in UK and Europe.
Which version is best for me?
The PMR446 version is ideal for families and small businesses and small venues, no licence required and these radios can also be used anywhere in Europe.

The 5 watt versions are more suited to business users and those who need longer range communications.
What is the difference between VHF and UHF radios?
VHF and UHF are like petrol and diesel, they both get you there but in different ways.
Neither band is better than the other or more powerful.
UHF radios are better in built up areas such as cities, towns, industrial estates, shopping centres and buildings, ideal for a wide range of security uses.
