Recent accuracy and usability updates.

October 2026

  • Clarified UK CB modes: UK 27/81 channels FM/PM only; CEPT channels also allow AM & SSB (homepage and UK CB page aligned with Ofcom).
  • PMR446 wording: analogue harmonised across most of Europe; digital rules vary by country. UK 0.5 W ERP / IR 2030 note added.
  • US services (FRS, GMRS, MURS, US CB) now clearly labelled “US only” on the homepage.
  • Offline / live-voice distinction made explicit (local simulator works offline; WebRTC voice needs connectivity + mic).
  • Marine Channel 16 wording tightened (brief calls, move to working channel).
  • Added “Start here” section on homepage linking to chooser, range explainer and UK guides.
  • New realistic range explainer page (pages/range.html).
  • Public-safety / jurisdiction note added to introductory PTT text.
  • Channel 9 advice qualified: informal emergency/assistance practice only — not an official monitored service.
  • FRS, GMRS, MURS and US CB pages now explicitly labelled US only in heroes.
  • PMR446 homepage card further tightened (compliant gear, 0.5 W ERP, integral antenna; digital rules vary).
  • Sep 2026 — UK ham focus (Ofcom/RSGB); guides, charts, chooser, resources; Online HTTP presence + text; CTCSS/squelch; community links; Westby field case study.
  • Sep 2026 — Multi-page virtual radios; UK CB & freeband pages; PeerJS voice when HTTPS; PWA cache; chatbot + Wikipedia lookup.
