As the topic above, I need the correct answer. I can't confirm as some say yes, some say no. Some honest seller say yes, some seller say no.

Any expert out there know the actual answer?

Small walkie-talkie, those 0.5-3 watt. Not those bulky bulky like police officer, security guard house 1...

nope.. it doesnt need a license

How sure are you?(No offense for your knowledge) Got any source? I don't know where to clarify even using google.

just to share...
i did join some programs and activities that requires walkie talkie...
haven't seen they bringing any license along...
using the small one...which you could bought from many shops like Carrefour,Giant,Teso & etc...not a famous brand
big one like motorola...liked you said police one...haven't tried...
don't know if this answer you some...

If they require you to show ur license, of coz u can't immediately show. Must report to police station that you have the license.

Like gun, my uncle got the license. But, he didn't bring out the license at all 1 ar.

But I am sure they could have the license of certificate or identity card to prove that they have the license. Example, scuba diver have identity card and certificate

Still need answer

simple lah why dont you go sit for MARES exam n use it all the time you can even fix radio in your car legally....google for mares..

no need license lah.

if need license, they won't be able to sell it easily mah.

simple thinking.

wrong

basic walkie talkie's like 0.5 watters which work on the FRS spectrum dont need license

but most walkie's at 1watt and above transmit power are generally on the GMRS spectrum which needs a license to operate legally

are those walkies with 1 watt and above easily sold?

As long as doesnt touch d marine walkie talkie stuff coz theirs r completely top secret things!!

I don't think need license also..Imagine a parent buy walkie talkie for the child 2use..say in the house, don't tell me need license..btw, i didn't see any license for walkie talkie also..no offence yea

There is a license actually. If you are using 5 watt walkie-talkie, you could even try ur luck to get into the police signal.

I wondering without license, what is the penalty?

most easily available one will be the motorola t5720 . works on FRS and GMRS spectrum

edit : yes the t5720 is 1 watt
