You need a license to operate on the ham bands, and a license to operate on commercial bands.

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

No. This radio is designed as a ham radio transceiver. You need a license to operate this radio legally with the exception of just listening.Steve W6SDM

Yes, you need a Technician license at least, but that does not require code and the license is free upon passing a 35 question test.

No there is nothing special required. You can plug it into a standard 120V outlet.

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.

Yes you need a license. You'd be least likely to get in trouble if you program them for the FRS frequencies. If you use them on the amateur radio or public safety frequencies, you're almost guaranteed to get in trouble.

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

You're talking about a Ham Radio license. These should be legal to operate without anything like that. As far as I know you only need a license from the FCC if you're transmitting more than 50 miles, and I would be shocked if these broke 10 miles. (I don't own them yet, but I plan on purchasing and operating them without a license)

To the best of my knowledge, a license is not required to operate the walkie-talkies. T

Call the FCC's main number and they will direct you, you do need a license but the type of license depend on if you are using them in one location or moving from site to site as a contractor would.

No. It only has one license, but you can use it on up to two machines, just not at the same time. As long as you close it on one machine you can use it on the other. IOW, if you have it running at home and go to work (and vice versa) without closing it you'll be out of luck.
