We sell it, and programme it, for listening. Listening needs no licence. Transmitting is a different matter — sending on public safety, business or amateur frequencies without the appropriate FCC licence is illegal, and the channels we load are for monitoring only. If you want to transmit legally, look into an amateur radio licence first. Not sure what's receivable where you live? Check your zip code free before you order.
