crt space-u

thanks guys i dont know much about pmr but want to try it and have the crt space - u on its way to me

Good luck with it, Rob.

cheers john thank you

You are welcome, Rob.

got the crt space this afternoon so going to put it in the car tomorrow and see how it goes,i had it pre programmed at knights.

I have the CRT Micron and it was been a cracking little set for the price, I unlocked it after finding the method online after, quickly checking I see software for your own radio should you want to change the programming at any point and there is mention of unlocking a power feature on the set too.

my young bro has the same set and its a very good radio, and the same antenna i have a base in the home ,and the crt space u in the car , and my home made pmr antenna they will tell , you its no good line of sight but in the town lots of buildings, i heard my young bro shouting for me, he is 15 miles away , so i shouted back and we had a great confo, but line of sight, i can not see were he is and he is on a hill the wrong side of the hill and its better then the cb, now from my home with my home made base antenna and my crt7u we chat away great contact now on my cb in the car nothing but on the crt space u we chat its great but the cb in the car, we can not chat , on the cb a99 base magnum 257 hi power we chat its great love all forms of radio but this, pmr is some thing, its just right

There is more action on PMR in my area than on 2m and I am yet to hear a local on 70cm's, I take a little handy out with me most of the time a baofeng UV82 with the antenna upgraded to a Nagoya 771. More and more people seem to be getting onto the PMR channels with Nets popping up quite frequently and I have heard local businesses and a school use them too.
I would be interested to hear how you get along with the Syrio 440 antennas, I use a co-linear for my base antenna for PMR which is meant for 2M and 70CM but it covers this well too but I need to upgrade my pals antenna and get it up a little higher too.
Yes, Big Massey I am just outside of Falkirk and I know there are others from North of the border too.

if you use a antenna thats just for pmr 446 it will be better then a tri bander or 2m and 70cm, my home base is a antenna just for 446 from Slovakia and the same on the car and got the measurements from tm1 and its just 16cm 6/14 inches and it workes great and both my young bros have the home made for the car and one bro has the cx440 and it works well

i have yet to receive the 440 from knights but will let ya know how it performs as soon as i can,i have two baofeng tri banders i receently bought but they need programing and i dont know what im doing when it comes to that sort of thing,if i knew i couldnt use them for 446 pmr straight out of the box i would not have bothered with them.

Good evening to new cumnock fella...from ayrshire..

we live in the scot borders and north Northumberland , there is three i can think of but you seem to have more up your way to chat to

I have just purchased  a CRT Space-U from Knights together with the programming kit and I think that it is an amazing radio, very compact and extremely well made with a superb RX/TX performance.
If I had to guess I think that the unit OEM is Anytone, specially branded for CRT France and this would explain the very high build standard and super performance.  I get fantastic results when using it mobile with my home-brew 1/4 wave magmount but I really want to use it afloat on a narrowboat canal  holiday which should make for an interesting net (marine mobile!)
Has anyone else used PMR446 on the canals (we do every canal holiday as it is perfect for the job)

Just got my hands on a CTR-Space U.
Small or what.
A m8 bought it from nights programmed but never used it so he asked me to sell it for him.
All new in the box well it's out of the box now lol.
Had a chat on 70cm's with another m8 and he said it sounds very good then he video called me to see it and couldn't believe such a small radio could sound so good.
It's a bit fiddly for my fingers and i will have to get the book out to see how to see what is programmed in it.
It has a home base antenna with it never been fitted lol.

It's not staying he wants it sold and i don't want to buy it lol.
Just thought i would have a play but don't want to screw it up programming wise.
Had a go with pmr some time ago but nothing around my location on.

That's a shame Alan.
If you were east coast of the island you might get across the sea.
Nice little radio's though.

Going to look at the book tomorrow last resort i know lol.
