Do you need or require any special permits to operate these things legally to their full potential? Other places I frequent talk about requiring ham licences and such.
Are you familiar with The Shmoo, Mr. Fisher?
These are great radios and a great price. CanAm, can you also get the Baofeng BF-F8HP.
If you program it's full potential (and transmit) you will need an Amateur Radio License.

There goes the fun

If you could talk to any victim killed in crime, they would much rather have had a handgun than a law.
Rights do not exist. There is only law and duty.
Governmental authority is all in a.) your head and b.) their weapons.
Ability is not a crime and accused does not mean guilty.

I can talk to the firehall from a 10min drive away, 12km, with my stock UV-5RTP

Basically anything but gmrs/frs and CB radios require a licence to transmit.

If you need religion to have good morals then you don't actually have good morals.
These are great, glad to see you're carrying them, I need some.
I got my amateur radio license. It's not hard. The radios work well and are popular with hams around the world.
