KDR band

KDR-Band (short for Kort Distanse Radio ), also known as KDR-Funk , is a radio application for everyone in Sweden and Norway and there the counterpart to PMR radio that is widespread in Europe , it also transmits in the 70 centimeter band ( UHF frequency range 444.600-444.975  MHz ). Use is not permitted in Germany. a. because channels one to five overlap with the BOS radio .

Frequency range

The frequency range is divided into 6  channels .

channel	Frequency in MHz	BOS channel
1	444,600	770
2	444,650	774
3	444,800	786
4th	444.825	788
5	444,850	790
6th	444.975	-

Range

The devices are allowed to transmit on the Scandinavian Peninsula with a maximum power of up to 1  W ( ERP ). This means that the range under very good conditions is around five kilometers.

As with PMR and SRD devices, the maximum range of a KDR device strongly depends on the environment. Under the best conditions (from mountain peak to mountain peak or at sea) you can cover up to twelve kilometers. In heavily built-up areas, it is usually less than a kilometer away.
