Motorola MTH 800

Post by DeanSims »

Hi everyone, I'm sorta new to this radio stuff, that's why I'm looking for a bit of help, I bought 3 Motorola MTH 800's from eBay for some volunteer work I do for my local angling club, the guy I bought them off on eBay assured me they all worked back to back, unfortunately they did not, one doesn't talk to the other two sets and one of the working two sets is in Dutch I believe, is there someway of getting these reprogrammed to talk to each other and licence free or PMR I think you call it, sorry for being a noob at this but I literally have no clue or idea's when it comes to two way radios.

Best regards
Dean

I would say Motorola XT420/460
They are Pmr446 so legal and ready to go!
Very hard wearing radio so good for dropping and splashing with water.
Good prices second hand on Ebay and can be bought separate if you want add more later.
