    "content": "Thanks; For some reason, I thought 70CM Repeaters were unavailable in \nUK, and my W32A might be \"contraband\". Yes the W32A can work 420-450 \nMHz, (Mine will :-) ). Yes voice GSM is what we need for the trip.

That would enable you to use the UK 70cm repeaters.\n\n> 3) Any recommendations for good PMR446, dPMR or similar\n> radios (low cost) to communicate with my wife should we get\n> separated?

It's worth checking the coverage provided by each of the Four networks in the areas you'll be visiting before you buy a Sim.\n\nPersonally I've found Vodafone and O2 give best voice/text coverage as they use the 900 MHz band, other networks EE (Orange/T-Mobile) and 3 are only on the higher bands, 1800 and 2100 MHz with shorter ranges.\n\nCoverage Maps:\nVod -http://www.vodafone.co.uk/our-network-and-coverage/uk-coverage-map/\nO2 -http://www.o2.co.uk/coveragechecker\nEE -https://explore.ee.co.uk/coverage-checker\n3  -http://www.three.co.uk/Support/Coverage\n\n73 Trevor M5AKA\n\n-- \nJoe Leikhim\n\n\nLeikhim and Associates\n\nCommunications Consultants\n\nOviedo, Florida\n\[email protected]\n\n407-982-0446\n\nWWW.LEIKHIM.COM\n\n",
