Plus, these kind of radios aren’t particularly cheap, especially when you fit them up with all the accessories, spares, proper casing and so on. I do know that they are usually more strict in Europe.Īnyway, I wanted my own radios, but the licensing issue always seemed to be a big hassle. I’m sure they do in other countries as well, but I don’t know too much about the way things are licensed in other countries.
The normal “Business” 2-way radios use the VHF or UHF band, and are using frequencies that require a license in the USA and Canada. You really miss them on a fly-in when you don’t have any!
I’ve used the Motorola CP200 for years and loved the convenience of having radios when touring.
