SRRS

OGNEK'S SRRS PAGE

The Philippines has a radio service for use of families and small businesses. This service is called SRRS or short range radio serice. Units are limited to simplex operations and has a power limitation of 2.5 watts. There are no liscense hassles when purchasing this radio since these radios come with pre-approved liscense, even the fee is inclusive of the radio price. These radios are capable of communicating within a radius of 2 to 5 Kilometers. There are two radios available for this service, the Kenwood Freetalk UBZ-LF40, .4 watt units and the Motorola Pacer, 2.5 watts units. I have both type of units, and there are advantages and disadvantages for both. The Kenwood's are very handy because of it's small pocket size and the battery life will last you at least a week, but its power limits its distance to communicate. The Motorola on the other hand is a powerful unit and has a removable antenna in which you could attach a mobile or base antenna to improve its reception and transmission but its battery life will at most last you 2 days.
