JUCJET TG-FR1 PMR446 Walkie Talkies: Licence-Free, USB-C/AA

Stay in touch where phones fall short.

The JUCJET TG-FR1 is a licence-free PMR446 walkie talkie for families, hikers and small teams in the EU and the UK: 16 channels, hands-free VOX, and a rechargeable pack you can swap for AA batteries when the charger is out of reach.

For work crews, events and shops it is a simple radio to hand out: same channel and code on every set, USB-C charging, and factory-direct pricing on team orders.

What Sets It Apart

• Licence-free PMR446 — 16 PMR446 channels on 446 MHz with 38 CTCSS and 82 DCS privacy codes to cut unwanted chatter. No licence, SIM card or subscription needed in the EU and the UK; talks to other PMR446 radios on the same channel and code.
• Two ways to power it — each radio runs on its 1200 mAh rechargeable Li-ion pack, charged over USB-C from a phone charger, power bank or laptop. Pack flat on the trail? Swap it for standard AA batteries (not included).
• Hands-free VOX and scan — VOX sends when you speak, so you can talk while working, cycling or wearing gloves; scan finds activity across the channels. The PTT key is always there when you prefer direct control.
• Torch, colour display and call tones — built-in LED torch, 1.3-inch colour display, 10 call tones, roger tone and a one-key call button.
• Complete 2-pack, three colours — 2 radios, 2 rechargeable packs, 2 USB-C cables, 2 belt clips, 2 lanyards and a user manual, in blue, orange or green. 183 g with battery; rated for -20 °C to +50 °C.

An Honest Word About Range

Real-world range depends on your surroundings, and the manual does not state a distance. Open ground with a clear line of sight gives the best results; buildings, dense streets, forests and indoor walls cut it down sharply. Like other PMR446 handhelds, the TG-FR1 is made for short-range use — across a campsite, a ski slope or a worksite, not across a city.

FAQ

Do I need a licence?
No. PMR446 is licence-free for private and business use across the EU and the UK.

Will it talk to other PMR446 radios?
Yes. Set both radios to the same channel and the same privacy code (or code off). If you can hear but not reach another group, check that the CTCSS/DCS code matches.

How far will it reach?
The manual gives no range figure, so we do not quote one. PMR446 radios are limited by law to 0.5 W ERP, so range depends on terrain: open, unobstructed ground or hilltops with a clear line of sight give the most distance; buildings, trees, hills and indoor walls cut it down sharply. Test coverage between your actual positions before you rely on it.

Which batteries does it use?
The supplied 1200 mAh rechargeable Li-ion pack, charged over USB-C. Without the pack, it runs on standard AA alkaline batteries (not included). Never try to charge AA batteries in the radio.

Do I need software or a cable to program it?
No. Channel, privacy code, VOX and call tone are set from the radio's own keys and menu. If your team needs a fixed channel plan across many radios, tell us in your quote.

Can I use it in the US?
No. This edition works on the European PMR446 band. For the United States we list a separate FRS edition of the TG-FR1.

Can we buy on invoice or in volume?
Yes. Every order comes with an invoice in your company name; EU/UK prices include VAT and bank transfer is accepted. For team orders, request a written quote — factory-direct pricing on larger quantities.

When can I order?
This model is not in stock yet. Ordering opens as soon as the first batch arrives; send us a quote request and we will let you know.
