is a license required

For recreational purposes, in US waters, a license is not required to operate the voice portions of the radio, but you will need a MMSI number assigned to you boat in order to use the DSC features. If you plan on using the radio in international waters, then you will need a Ship Station License from the FCC in addition to the MMSI. If your boat is required to carry a radio, then you must have a license for the radio (this doesn't apply to recreational boats).

No, a license is required. It is a must have on the Mississippi River around Memphis. I would recommend it on all bodies of water. The GPS hook up isgreat and very usefull. Hope this answers your question

NO, it's not a short wave radio. It's marine and no license is required. We purchased ours as an upgrade. With a new GPS that hooks up to the radio, you can set up the emergency response giving your boat name, location and time. This information is activated by a flip of a switch on the radio and is broadcast to the Coast Guard. You do have to register your set-up with the Coast Guard but there is no charge. Hope this helps.

You will need a license if programming frequencies on VHF or UHF in business bands or any HAM frequencies including repeaters. You can use the radio if authorized in public safety frequencies, example if you work for any licensed department and you have been authorized to use or given a radio number under the department's license. You don't need license if programming FRS frequencies or open channels available for public use, example Marine frequencies for boat users.

In most countries, yes. In Brazil for example, it is a federal felony to operate these radios without a license.

You should check with your local DMV, however, I believe you will need a drivers license.

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.

A license is required to operate this radio within the HAM bands or on commercial frequencies, but if you are just going to listen, AND LISTEN ONLY no license is needed.

It is an airsoft gun, so I wouldn't think you need a license but you may want to check with your local laws regarding airsoft guns.

Yes, you need at minimum a technicial-class licence. That will give you a small spectrum for voice use and a small spectrum for Morse. A general-class will give you more of the spectrum to use.

No, thankfully this is not a one year license. It's just that you have to set up a MS email account to download this product. If you have used MS 2010 you will probably be disappointed in the quality of this product.

No, one license , one computer. However, you can transfer from an old computer to a new computer. It tAkes calling auto desk from new license codes, no cost.

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.

It will differ from state to state. Each state has their own set of regulations. But most will require an esthetics or or cosmetology license. You can check with the DORA (department of regulatory agency) to check.

Short answer: no. They need a license for either commercial or amateur service. They are not type accepted for use in GMRS or FRS.

Yes, to verify you have a legitimate license key. Registry is optional though.

Yes, you need an amateur radio license. I hope these people didn't mislead you and cost you a huge fine.

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.
