I’ve moved the PMR446 Link up into the loft now with the radio mounted on the end of a 4.5′ long plank of wood so it is right up in the apex of the roof. Range should now be vastly improved. I did some testing whilst I was out this afternoon and can confirm it works from the following locations: Mersey Street, Bridge Foot, Victoria Park entrance, Black Bear Bridge, and Wilderspool Causeway as far as Loushers Lane, by the time I got to Morrisons there was no signal. There was no signal outside Microbitz on Gainsborough Road either but there was outside the shops on Loushers Lane. This seems to indicate a range of a little over half a mile to the South but obviously this will vary from place to place due to obstacles and height from ground level. I’ll have to do some more testing across the North side of town later in the week.
