>>17446293The EU has frequencies that are similar to the FRS freqs in USA/CAN. They are called PMR446 and although "technically" are not legal to use with the the UV-5R, (spec requires max .5 watts and NON-detachable antenna) in PRACTICE, only hams would actually know the regs, and cops wouldn't even give a fuck.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMR446If you get a Baofeng, pick up a AA adapter battery case, you can use EITHER rechargable 2400mah NiMH or standard alkaline batteries.
