Since 2018, you are no longer limited to using only 8 channels with PMR446 transceivers/walkie talkies, but - thanks to an EU regulation - you can also use up to 16 channels, or  even 32 channels if you have dPMR devices. The table below shows which channel represents which frequency. For programming industrial PMR radios, this guide is particularly useful.

Each country has its own rules for frequency usage of transceivers. The below information is to help clarify the increasingly frequent questions regarding this matter.  

Motorola's recently debuted CLR446 radio - which can be used without a frequency license - is in the industrial category, but it's not here to take over the arena of rugged industrial radios. Instead, it is  intended for business, office, hotel and other uses where you don't need a hefty, shock and everything-proof radio, just easy-to-use features.

With the internet - literally - in our pocket,  we can shop anywhere in the world from anywhere in the world. But be careful, because even if the radios look very similar, it is also easy to "run into" radios that cannot be used in EU countries.

In 2020 Motorola introduced its first internet-based PoC communication system, called Wave, which was re-branded to Wave PTX at the beginning of 2021.  Since its launch, we have tested the TLK 100i transceiver on several occasions, in different environments.
