No, but you can't use it until you are properly licensed. Trying to transmit without a license gets you into serious trouble. You will stick out like a sore thumb and you will be caught.

Seller weasel-wording -- you don't need a license to *buy* it -- but the moment you touch the transmit button, license is required.

As I recall it came with a trial version, you would have to purchase a full license.

Each GD860 will own a license, within two years after registering for free online upgrade. I suggest you contact your seller.

No Majid. The license " in the small print states that three individual license all starting from the time you activate the first product key". You can not bank the individual to one product key.

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

You only need a license to transmit not to own , you can lock out the transmit feature on this radio. I purchased it to for a general reciever for listening only in a compact package , no other full band recievers exist in this size with this many features . If you want to transmit you can go for a novice technician license test given by your local ham radio clubs , you no longer have to know code to take the test , study guides are aviable from the amauteur radio relay league (ARRL). You are allowed to transmit unlicensed ONLY in an emergency situation matter of life or death.

Yes you need a license to TRANSMIT. Find a friend with a license, he/she can supervise you - and you can transmit under their close supervision, using their license and callsign. You must be within a few feet (1 to 2 meters) of them at all times. This is called "transmitting under direction of a control operator". This is a great way to learn radios.

I have no license and I dont think you can get in trouble at all.If this is for business use then you may want to look into a license.

Depends on your purchase motivation. For life as it exists now....yeah, you need a license to transmit. When the SHTF though....who cares. At that point it becomes a life saving product.

An additional license is needed to support those features. SKus are on this link: _http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000176-en.pdf Let us know if you have any other questions! -Beccela's Etc.

Yes you need a license to transmit. You do not need a license to use as a Walkie talkie

Yes you can. All you need to do is plug in your purchasing, model, serial numbers, etc. My son does this with products he has bought from Big Box stores like Best Buy.

Have never tried it but see no reason it wouldn't work. There is no call for a license # and don't know of any other restrictions.

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 you need a license. This is a sore spot with me. I think the cost of a license should have been on the advertisement for these radios.

to broadcast technically yes but you can listen to things in your home and most of the laws are only enforced if you cause a problem so as long as your not doing anything stupid you realty don't need the license. but if you want it go on arrl org to find a local place that does the test you can and you learn about cool stuff when you do. there are free practice tests online and study guides to help you pass the tests too so it only costs the cost of the test if you use your internet.
