4m FM

Low Band PMR and 4m Ham band

Background

The PMR radio system for the Shetland Islands Council (SIC) Roads dept. is being re-engineered (summer 2023) with new base station radios and a new IP based microwave link network.

I thought I would set myself up with the ability to monitor, and test coverage, both mobile and at home. I found my old FM1100 and also was given a selection of other ones by SIC, as well as the PDP to program them.

My plan is to configure the radios for both 4m ham band and SIC roads network.
