Which is better PMR or Freenet?

PMR (Private Mobile Radio) and Freenet are both radio services that can be used for private, non-commercial use without a license. The decision between PMR and Freenet depends on specific requirements and preferences. PMR446 is widely used in many European countries and offers 16 channels in the 446 MHz range, ideal for short distances and use in urban areas. Freenet, on the other hand, is specifically available in Germany and operates in the 149 MHz range with 6 channels and offers a slightly longer range, making it advantageous for rural areas. Freenet can also use higher transmission power (up to 1 watt), which can result in improved range compared to PMR (with a maximum of 0.5 watt). Ultimately, the choice should fall on the service that best suits individual communication needs and the local area of ​​operation.
