If you know the frequency of your kenwood then yes. A nice feature on these is you can key in nearly any valid frequency you want. I have one with the large battery pack and it will last a very long time depending how much your transmitting/receiving. I backup what a few others are saying about the distance too, I have had them working up to 12 to 13km on hilly thick bushed logging roads.
 
I work with DJmay71 as a Mall Ninja operator :p just joking I'm very glad not to know that @ssclown. but I did have a few good laughs at his expense.

I bought theses radios 1 month ago. The are ham radios and you can't operate them without a ham liscence.

But you can operate gmrs channels in low power 1W legally. You can operate gmrs channel up to 2w but uv5-rare hi- low/5w-1w only. Gmrs channels in Canada don't need a liscence, but it's different in USA.

Frs channels are limited to 0.5W so can't legally be operated on theses radio .

It's possible to listen polices channels but be careful to not push the talk button as its illegal to disrupt them. Theses radios are fully capable to communicate with them.

They are a little complicated to configurate, even with YouTube, but it's possible after a few videos. Once configuration done, they are nice walkie talkies, scanner fm receiver (radio) and great shtf communication gear.
 
You'll have to program the radio on the frequency that the license is authorized and verify the max power allowed. You can't operate on any frequency. Industry Canada regulate radio communications.

It depend on a lot of factors. If you are on the top of a hill or in the brush. Theses can have a decent range of the line of sight is good for example on a lake or on the highest point. It also depend on the wattage hi-lo.

The stock antenna is very average but there's Anton of aftermarket ones taut can increase your range. Nagoya make some good and cheap antennas.

It's pretty crazy, but, I think they still do work even if the operator doesn't have a license.
Crazy I know, but I've seen it. Expected the guy to burst into flames or be swarmed by black helicopters.
But. Nothing.

If you purchase a longer antenna for these radios the range is fantastic, we use them with the waterproof mikes for sledding and calling kms on logging roads and have been very impressed with the range... again with the longer antennas, the short ones you might as well buy a couple cans and some string
 
Is there any software available to clone multiple radios. Or can you clone from one radio to the next with an interconnect?
 
We just have the radio for now. Next shipment we will have a whole bunch of program cables, accessories, etc.

I will also look into order the antenna upgrade. I have one on my Icom HT.

Lol

It's clear That the radios will operate with or without ham license. The fact is that it's illegal to operate ham radio without ham license. Everybody do their own choices about the laws and to each their limits.

In every ham club there is some crazy guys that just try to locate, find and report illegal operators. It can be very costly if you get caught. But if you don't get caught, nothing' will happen.
