I have a few GP340 UHF Motorola Two-Way radios, which need to be licensed before I can legally use them. I have not yet tried the programming software, but…

Can I set the frequency channels to the PMR channels in the range of: 446.103125 MHz to 446.196875 MHz (UHF)  
The power output to: 4W

and legally use the radios without license in the UK?

or not even lower the power? Please advise.

Thanks.

Obviously, no, you can’t use them legally for PMR, which requires its radios, like the FRS, to meet certain specifications, some of which are non-detachable antennas and 500 milliwatt power.
