What’s the best two way radio to take skiing in Europe?
I’m looking into buying a two way radio for my next skiing trip so I can keep in touch with where my family is on the slopes while I go off piste with my friend.
I want a radio with the largest range but I’m not sure what the largest range is without a licence in the UK and Europe.
Can anyone fill me in on whats what with radio laws in UK and Europe etc and recomend a good set of two way radios that isn’t gonna cost the earth?
I was thinking something with a 10 mile range?
10 mile unlicenced? Not a hope in hell.
I have a cheapy pair of PMR446 (no licence req’d) for skiing. As long as we’re both on the same side of the mountain (or opposite sides of a valley) then I’ve never had a problem. Range is about 3 or 4 miles across a valley.
I won’t bore you with the laws and regulations, but unlicenced 446MHz radios have a power limit of 0.5W. This can be tweaked by someone who knows what they are doing 
Google for PMR446. Have fun off-piste!

Be like the rest, don’t bother with the licence. They work just as well without one !
If you were caught using a radio without a licence in the UK, you would make history. It’s not an item that is policed.
