With Paul Miller’s Law now active in Pennsylvania, two-way radio operators face new requirements for safe and legal mobile radio communication. As discussed extensively in episode 203 of the Two Way Radio Show podcast, this law specifically restricts the manual operation of handheld interactive mobile devices while driving, significantly impacting how amateur (ham), business, GMRS, MURS, and CB operators use radios in vehicles. Fortunately, hands-free solutions enable drivers to comply with the law while maintaining safe, convenient communication.
Two-way radio operators—especially ham, public safety, and commercial users—are exempt, but only when using hands-free gear or permanently mounted devices . Ensuring your setup is both legal and safe means relying on quality hands-free accessories designed for mobile use.
