PMR radios – what are subchannels for?
Dear community,
What are the private subchannels for on PMR walkie-talkies? I've heard that others can still listen in.
Thank you

Hello, I wanted to ask why my television isn't working. You can hear the functions when you press the arrows, but there's no picture. When you turn the television off with the remote control, the red light comes on, and when you turn it on, it doesn't work anymore. Oh, I'm looking forward to your…
Good day, After I bought a new battery for my quad (50cc Pocket Quad) Trying to start it on its own despite the ignition being deactivated I think it's an electrical problem? But I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to electrical systems. Volts, amps and ampere hours of the battery are correct.
Hi, I need a drinks cooler with a USB port, maybe a plate for placing things on it, up to €100. It should also be suitable for taking with me, for example, to the pool or classroom with a power bank. Can anyone recommend something? Thanks
Hello dear electronics community! I've removed a sound board from an old Medion laptop stereo speaker set. Among other things, I'd like to know what the black chip and coil installed there do. Unfortunately, there's no documentation for the chip. I'd like to learn how such a circuit works. The board is connected via a…
Hello everyone. Can anyone help me? I need to calculate the heating wire length and weight, but I can't seem to get anywhere. Against. FeCrAl d=5mm Density 7.1 g/cm3 400v 29.21 kW. I've calculated and calculated and calculated, but it seems a bit small. I get 296.6 cm in length. Can someone please help me?…
Hello folks, I have a Casio fx-991DE X calculator. The problem I'm having is that when I enter, for example, 1 – 0.9988, it doesn't return 0.0011, but rather 1.2 x 10^-3, whatever that means. Could someone please help me configure my calculator so that it displays these values correctly, or tell me where I…
You heard right. Because there are actually NO (private) subchannels. This is a “invention” of the marketing departments of the radio equipment manufacturers.
These “subchannels” are an analog (CTCSS) or digital (DCS) selective call system with which a specific radio partner – or an entire group of radio partners can be called.
How this works is explained here: HOBBYFUNK.DE – All about ‘Funk’

These are not real channels.
Only one signal is transmitted which controls the noise barrier of the receiver. This occurs in which a signal having a higher frequency than the speech signal has been superimposed. Either a simple sound or a digitally coded signal.
If the receiver is on one of the “lower channels”, then the noise lock only starts when the signal has the appropriate subchannel number.
You can always send on subchannel “0” the noise lock goes on even without the subchannel signal when someone sparks.
This allows you to adjust the devices in such a way that the receivers only hear something when the transmitter sets the appropriate subchannel. Thus, other radios can be ignored or groups formed.
In theory, the operational manager then has the channel “0” and can thus hear all groups and then, by switching over, selectively radio a group. The groups can only hear each other, but not each other.
This sounds great, but in practice, of course, it doesn’t work. Because a group can’t hear if another group is just sparking and will just start sending while another group is talking straight. The groups thus bother each other without notice.
The only meaningful application is that all have the same subchannel so that radio interference and other radios that come within range cannot interfere. Only when the group is sparking, then the noise locks open and interrupt the work of the participants as they have to listen. For this, however, the range is reduced, because if the signal is very weak, one could still understand something, but the signal to open the noise barrier is no longer recognized.
Thank you
Sure.
