How the PMR446 map works
This map is a community directory for UK PMR446 users. Pick a broad town or county, share the analogue channels you monitor, and let other operators know when you are usually listening. New stations are reviewed before they appear publicly. After a radio conversation, either station owner can log it on the other station’s profile; the other operator confirms it before a contact count appears. Confirmations are self-reported and do not prove identity or a conversation. We ask for a broad area, not a home address or GPS location.
Your area
Choose the town or county where you usually listen. You do not need to share a street address.
Channels and tones
List every PMR446 channel you regularly monitor, not just your main channel. A CTCSS or DCS tone can filter your receiver’s squelch; it does not encrypt your conversation or make the channel private.
Station approval
New stations, groups and local nets are held for review before they appear publicly. A 12-character alphanumeric management key lets you edit a station without an email account. Keep the key private and rotate it if you think it was exposed.
Confirming a radio contact
After speaking with another station, open its profile and select “I spoke with this station”. The other operator can confirm or reject the log from their station dashboard. Only confirmations from the other operator contribute to a public count. These are community self-reports, not identity checks or proof of a conversation.
