Part 97.401(a) of the Federal Code of Regulations: Primarily, it authorizes any use of radio technology for the "immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property," regardless of all other FCC regulations, when no alternative is available. Otherwise, yes a license is required.

For the most part yes. since this radio was built in a foreign country, there operating laws pertaining to Radio models are different than those of the United States. 90 percent of the frequencies accessible on this radio require a special license, however there are licensed free frequencies available for use, however the power and special requirements are still required to use in the United States.

No, if you use the FRS or GMRS band channels. Check google for the corresponding channels to frequencies, just google frs or gmrs channel frequency list.

I'm licensed by nys, I use it for work as a medic for a private company. But you will need a ham ticket if you are going to use it for personal use. This radio does transmit over public safety freqs.

You need an FCC amateur radio operator's license to operate this radio in transmit mode. You do need a license to operate in receive-only mode.

It is my understanding that they offer only a single or three-user license. They are very helpful, go on-line and get their contact telephone number for sales they can give you the details

Yes. FCC license is required based on frequencies used and transmission power. Anything over .5 watts needs a licence and most frequencies that are not in the range of family service radio frequencies need a license. See the FCC website for more details on what you can use without a license.

No FCC license is required. They are not super powerful. However in a dense city I can get a strong 2-3 block range

What country are you in? In the USA, this radio requires either a 'ham' or business license, as well as the ability to program the radio. Since the radio is capable of operating and interfering with licensed users, I don't suggest using this radio without a license.

Larry.. Technically yes you need a license it's a ham radio, on the other hand I had it converted to the C. B. Channels for around 30 dollars at a shop. All features still intact works great for me

Probably. Need to ask the seller. Multiple licenses are usually labeled as such.

When I ordered these and tried to set these up, yes, I was informed I needed a commercial license and that this was only granted to businesses.

Mine had to be licensed as it had 'Cannon' embossed on it. It has worked fine.

Actually yes you do. The reason is that it comes from the factory with all of the channels set on High. If you leave them set on high, you will need a HAM Radio License because you will be using the GMRS channels. However if set the power to low and make sure the channels are set for the FRS (Family Radio Service) then you wont need a license. If you get a programming cable and download the software for the 888S then you can easily program them all in just a few minutes. I hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean by license for these radios... There is no license required to own and operate these radio in the United States. Just buy them and use them.

That's something you need to check with the F.C.C. on. I would suggest you follow the rules or be fined that includes having proper licenses. Sorry there is not a cheaper solution.

No. It's illegal to operate this radio without a license on any frequency . Even though it will transmit on frs frequencys. It would be a waste of money to buy this radio.

Not unless the license/registration permits it. Occasionally, different territories have different licensing arrangements, as applied to certain variations of Office 2000.

Yes, in the U.S. you will need at least a Technician Class Amateur Radio License.
