  1. Great video, years ago you had to produce your licence before you could buy transmitters here in the UK but that was relaxed and now anyone can get hold of any kind of transmitter including pirate radio transmitters and transmit where they like, this situation hasnt improved with the ease of access to powerful cheap Chinese radios that me and you help to promote although I say that with a caveat that we do at least encourage people to program them on to the PMR bands if they are going to use them. Many of the super cheap radios like the Baofeng 888 are in reality only 1 watt or twice as powerful as the best PMR radios and I would bet most of the time are used responsibly when being operated on the PMR frequencies, id think it very rare anyone has been prosecuted for using a none certified radio on PMR and I dont know any amateurs who dont own one or more cheap chinese radios and all of them have PMR programmed in to the memory channels, you only have to look at youtube to see that. Its the same thing I get on my electric bike, well you know thats illegal> your bike will do 30mph and is over 10 times the legal limit, in 20 years or riding ive never had any problems because the bike is well maintained, I follow the rules of the road and am sensible, if you apply the same practice with cheap chinese radios you can use them on PMR and you wont ever have any problems what so ever, I dont condone people doing it but I would much rather they do that than use them out of the box and just transmit anywhere. Anyway good video sir, have a jolly nice weekend, im expecting a xmas market vlog very soon :-)
