Looks like you have the same problem as me, too many hand held radios, my mrs thinks they breed when nobody is looking, going to sell a few as it does the batteries no good just sitting there, even tried giving some away to my nephew but he has no interest at all, people keep giving me old CB 27/81 hand helds for some reason, now I have 5 of the things! 2 2 channel ones and 3 40 channel ones and they all work but nobody is on CB around here anymore, I will line them all up and take a picture for a laugh and post it up all 13 of them.

Hi :raising_hand:� 40 ch cb handhelds are popular in my area. there’s a real sub culture on the radio as they have the low power switch which if you’re not in the streets where they are used then other users can’t hear the conversations going on and it’s all still legal!And when you want to contact better than pmr just put up the power, plug in an antenna and you have 40ch FM and cept channels. works well here but the price of the sets has gone up because of it. :thumbsup:26CT867 wrote:

I won't even bother with a photo - but my collection (all functional and usable technically at least) pretty much incorporates every example of a commercial and restricted service now redundant UK LMR system sets including some real trunking rarities. Pretty much, short of Tetra items, if it was used - an example exists in my collection. I'm mostly focusing now on obtaining US stuff and PAC region LMR service gear and any older EU/pre-CEPT commercial LMR stuff as it comes to light.
Mind you, I reckon my post WWII military and professional ex-IG from Cold War period through the 90s alone probably would rate an encyclopedia to list and detail alone, let alone a photo gallery. Currently my pride of place items are the enhanced P25 ex-USAF mobile and HH pair that took me a year to eventually get past getting import and clearance papers for, and the 80s era Plessey gen cov TxCr - the literally any application/scope multimode that I'll probably be accountable for one day...
All of which are 'PMR' technically, since 'PMR' is merely a British term for commercial LMR radio services, not the gear type.
