I am trying to use these for the church activities. Do I need to buy a license for this purpose?

I encountered one organization that was using these radios out of the box. When I did some investigating, I discovered that they were using the radios on a frequency that was licensed to a local hospital for MEDCOM! Any use of these radios (in the United States at least) REQUIRES a license!

no you don,t need a license for this radio,because of the range.-2miles is all I get;my CB radio is 30 miles range most any time' an more than that on cloudy days;NO LICENSE NEEDED;

These radios are primarily meant to be used on the 440 mhz amateur band, whick requires a ham radio license. Using it without a license and knowledge of repeater frequencies could illegally trigger amatuer repeaters. They will tune somewhat above and below the 440mhz band. but you must inquire the FCC for that legality. the main reason they may not be used without license is they put out either 2 or 5 watts which is above the part 19 no license limil.

There are no legal uses for these that that do not require a license. They are not legal on FRS due to the excessive power, detachable antenna and lack of FCC type acceptance. They will not tune to MURS frequencies.

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

As far I know, you do not need license! These radios only have 2 miles range

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

I don't have the cover any longer. It appears that the license is for more than one computer but it may be limited to one user at a time.

Only 1 license. Software can be loaded on two computers used by license holder.

They are disks, so in this case, no; I think they ask for you to register for an account but I do not think that it is necessary. Once you install once, it saves to your computer, adding an icon which as long as you save your progress, you should be fine. I hope this helps.

We have use them at church and they work fine. I was kinda like you, but was suprised at the quality when I used them, may not be top of the line but well worth the money.

We use these CDs to make copies of our church services. One is recorded as the master, and then we have a copier that makes 5 copies at once. No computers. But we have done some audio file editing off the copies when necessary. And for that we used a computer. I hope this helps.

No, this will probably not work. You typically need to plug a USB dongle into each computer in order for the computer to recognize any license. This device does not have any USB transference ability.

Yes, but you will need to have the e-licenser plugged in to whichever computer you are using.

You may use your own, as long as mp3 is the format saved! I, however have used the background music provided with this, so thereare no "licensing" issues of using someone else's music. I use a file converter to make their (background music) files compatible with most any editor.

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

These are two-way radios and do not need to be programmed. You do not need a license to use these in the U.S.

Sure, if you have a license for the software. It comes with Open Office which can be installed at no cost

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

There is no programming involved at all and you do not need a license. They are very easy to use.

No, but to TRANSMIT on Amateur radio or GMRS frequencies, then YES, you'll need the correct license.
