PMR-Radio in the Netherlands?

[Gast Havrix]

Hi there!

 

I'm planing to spend a weekend in Katwijk aan Zee around 15th of october! ... Here in Germany some cachers take along their PMR-radio in order to have the opportunity to communicate with other cachers!

 

Normally our radio-sets use channel 2 without any CTCSS!

 

Are their any cachers using this system too in the Netherlands??

 

Greeting from Bochum / Germany

PS:

Which cache is a "must-have" in Katwijk and the area around it??

Sorry Never heard of PMR-radio , but in Katwijk, I did the cache Hold Your Horses, it is a very nice one and a very special location.

Have a nice weekeind

PMR (private mobile radio) is a collecting of 8 public radio channels! It's different from CB radio (Citizen band), beacuse is has fixed frequencies!

 

Quite easy to adjust your radio to one certain channel in order to coordinate radio communication!

 

Thanks a lot for this Cache-Recommendation!

Last monday i did the webcam- cache Wurftcam.

 

It is located at the boulevard of Katwijk. It was my first webcam cache, and is much fun!

 

For other caches you can have a look on this map: map

 

Good luck

PMR isn't used for caching a lot here in Holland. Maybe between cache members, but not for locating other cachers.

PMR radio zijn deze dingen.

Ik ken cachers in NL die deze dingen gebruiken.

Volgens mij gebruikt team bezemsteel ze ook.

 

Niet al te duur (vanaf 30 euro) bij warenhuizen en (buiten) sportzaken.

 

 

Ehm, Wir sprechen und verstehen auch Deutsch.

Some where on the Internet there is written that the geocaching PMR channel is number 2.

Some how the channel used on Dutch Events is number 3.

So I expect the most Dutch PMR’s are set to channel number 3.

Without any channel code.

Hey, that's cool .... then I'll take my PMRs with me to Katwijk .... maybe I'll meet some cachers there

I think your best chance meeting other cachers in doing a new ('maagdelijke') cache. A one-day-old cache attracts a lot of teams in the western part of the Netherlands. There're just not that many PMR here.
