You will need to grms FCC license to operate unless you have ham license or UHF or VHF license

You must know the transmitting frequency of your radio. If it falls within beofang frequency parameters you should be able to use them

Yes it will work with different walkies if they are on the same wave length.

It wouldn't be my first choice. This radio is ok but it's overly complicated and quality of speaker is not good. If you want good AM reception get a Sangean PRD5 or PRD7. Both are excellent AM radios. If you want a small pocket radio a Sangean DT400 is really good.

Don't know what a "regular" car radio is. If it has two RCA outputs in the back of the stereo it will work.

Dear Sir: You can use charge batteries with this radio, but they must all be of the same kind; you can not use different type of batteries because they will damage the radio. As far as I know, you cannot charge batteries while in the radio.

These are probably too complex for the casual user. You might might consider good quality GMRS walkie talkies, which will have about the same range as these.

Good heavens! So many wrong answers. This radio can be programmed to receive on any frequency in the typical VHF/UHF land mobile bands. It cannot be used legally used to transmit on either FRS or GMRS frequencies because the radio is not Part 95 certified. There are no frequencies in this radio that can legally be used without a license. There are many business band frequencies that this can operate on legally, but it requires an FCC license, which is generally not difficult to obtain, but you do have to pay between $85 and $200, depending on how many radios you license. Now, these radios are being used every day illegally. Can you get away with it? Maybe. If you happen to pick a frequency with a licensed user or users already on it, you can expect they will file a complaint with the FCC. Depending on how much interference you cause, you may get a visit from a white van with lots of antennas. I suggest you Google the amount of fines you can be hit with. Contact a local land mobile radio dealer. They can help you with a license, and you won't have to worry about the guys in the white van.

Yes it would work just fine. It comes with everything you need to enjoy the radio.

The unit WILL function as a clock radio - it must be set up and used via the remote control. For a complete description, you can download and read the owner's manual pdf. for free, here: http://www.ljudia.no/Archive/ProductFiles/936681/MCR040%20-%20Manual.pdfI believe that will answer all questions.If you need a recommendation, I can highly recommend this unit. For its size, it performs magnificently.

You can use it for radio, XM etc... BUT HEADS UP!!.. I bought one and was VERY disappointed with it because it is MONO NOT STEREO!!..... there is NO way to adjust the bass and/or treble... it has so much BASS in it, I could not even hardly understand talk shows with it..... I sold mine 2 months after I got it for $20... VERY disappointed.... they could at least say SOMEWHERE it is NOT "stereo"..... in my opinion, it is worse then a radio for the 1950's!

I have these for use in my airsoft MILSIM group. One thing we've noticed is that they do not communicate with other brands of walkie-talkies. They have amazingly clear connection with each other, which is perfect. I believe there is a way to program them so that they do communicate with third party radios, but I haven't gotten around to figuring that out yet. Hope this helps!

Yes. But there is one charger that connects to both units at the same time. So one walkie talkie being charged could communicate with one in the field.

Yes... i use it with my personal and my work phone... and they can be used simultaneously. Pretty Slick ;o)

It is not a speaker and therefore, it will not work as a speaker alone. Its a radio and it also plays micro sd cards.

Would work, however, a cheap pair of walkie talkies would do just fine and would have no interference and would be more secure. They can be purchased at Radio Shack.
