Is this radio legal to use without a license?

In the US and many other countries, transmitting on these bands needs a license or must fall on license-free channels. Check your local rules before transmitting; listening is generally unrestricted.

How many channels does it store?

The listing does not state a channel count. It is a programmable dual-band FM transceiver, so channel memory depends on the model firmware and how you program it.

Does it come with everything needed to start?

Yes. The box includes the radio, antenna, 1800 mAh battery, belt clip, charger, wrist strap, earpiece with microphone and a manual.

Can I use it with a headset or earpiece?

A wired earpiece with a microphone is included. It plugs into the radio's speaker-mic jack for hands-free use.

How long does the battery last?

The 1800 mAh pack is rated for a day of light use. Transmitting at 8W drains it much faster than listening.

Can I program it from a computer?

Owners commonly program it with a USB cable and free software. The listing does not include a cable, so you would need to buy one separately.
