Hi all. If anyone is interested in forming a PMR or CB network in Wroclaw I'll be monitoring every evening (7pm-11pm) and I'll make extra effort during Sundays to be monitoring the following channels:
CB channel 29 AM (Polish band, not EU band)
PMR channel 2, CTCSS 9 (That's probably channel 2 with a smaller number 9 next to it on your PMR)
My polish is horrible so I don't know if I want to attempt them on the air, I'll be speaking mainly in English for now. :-) Talk to you on the air!
PMR is extremely busy in Wroclaw. Every channel from 1 to 8. If I leave it open with no subtone I will be hearing people every 10 minutes or so, making it annoying to monitor for people who actually try to talk to me and it will also drain more battery. Channels 9-16 which are supported only by newer PMRs are not that busy so I could monitor without a subtone but I suppose it's easier to find people that have CTCSS than people who have the new upper 8 channels.
If anyone tells me they want to try to speak to me without CTCSS I will turn it off of course to experiment with them. But I can't leave the radio on for hours without CTCSS, hissing noise, random sprzedawcy and crane operators. :-D
