When do you need to have a radio license when using 2-way radios?
kazoo asked:
I am looking at buying some two way radios, but I have heard that certain distance-capable radios require a license to use. What is the distance before you need to apply for one?

With a range of up to 18 miles, the T8500R is guaranteed to not drop a call, charge you roaming or be out of cell range. And with a choice of a drop-in charger or battery power, you never need an electrical outlet to keep in touch.

Those hand held jobs you get at Bass Pro shops or Walmart don’t get enough range to require a license, but if you get one capable of using Morse code or talk across the country, you need a “Ham license” which is easier to get now than 40 years ago. Good luck.
The FRS radios do not require a license, but I belive the GPRS one (slightly longer range the FRS) do require some form of registration.
