From what I've heard is that the radio is quite good however, it will encounter problems when it hit the 6 months service period.
If you want to find a radio that could last like 10 years or so then better go for a proper brand like Yaesu.

Thx...long time not taking any exam.

thanks, but looking for AM bands specifically, they don't seem to be listed, but problem is I'm not even sure if they're still around

AM bands? You mean AM transmission on SW/MW? The second link has the frequencies, no idea if they're still transmitting though. I believe most of those stations listed in second link were transmitted in AM rather than FM.

Is SIRIM approved walkie talkies fall under amateur radios?
Some was written license free because it is SIRIM approved

Was trying to venture into walkie talkies but never realized there's a huge rule and regulations about it.

There are too many walkie-talkies in the market and they're meant for different market not only for amateur radio. Amateur radio is not an equipment but is a hobby, a licensed hobby.

May I know what you're going to use the walkie-talkie for? Some of the walkie-talkies fall under different class assignment and probably doesn't require you to get a license for it. Example is the FRS, PMR and CB radios.

I am hoping for a license free radio as it will be used mainly indoors in my small church. Just a way to communicate from downstairs stage to upstairs av control table.
In rare cases we might have some field trip or some jalan-jalan holiday tour. A pair will be enough with small distance. No need for those that could reach 12km.

I guess my budget would be about RM100-250. Don't know what are the standards to proper price but as usual, cheaper is better.

Hope you can help
I also hope that I am posting in the correct thread?

There are many China made brands on the market and I believe many of them cheapo ones with names like Motorola or Kenwood are fakes/clones. If you're in Klang Valley, go down to Jln Pasar, or Lowyat/Digital Mall PJ. Asked them for license free frequncies and they could program them for you as channels. The China made brands like Boefeng, TYT, and the likes can be had around RM150 and above a unit, complete with charger, good enough to be used within short distance. There are other walkie-talkies sold at AEON BIG, ALL-IT and some retail chains, they're probably either PMR or FRS radios like Motorola Talk-About, no programming needed, they're already using license-free frequencies, the range is very limited to around 3KM line of sight, or if within a building, probably could cover up to 3 stories.
