does it allow you to use walkie-talkies legally? My UK 5 miles range WT got confiscated at AD airport. Where do you get such a licence and how much will it cost approx please ?

TIA

One of my friends went through this it took over 3 years, I will check with him to see if he minds me passing his details on

I'm not sure, but I doubt it. Probably something to do with it being 'competition' with the local operators.

Just ask all the 4x4 guys where they got there walkie talkies from and dont bother with the licences.

Plenty for sale if you look under the counter, expect them to be confiscated at border posts If they see them. Forget the license. If you want to talk to anyone else here the UK ones are generally the wrong frequency as most here are us ones

You get a licence through the TRA, we jumped through hoops to get ours for a remote site in Abu Dhabi, look here for a starting point, but it's pretty expensive

You can buy walkie talkies from Dragon Mart, use the american frequency ones, and don't take them through any border posts.

use them only on the sand, and not near military installations. If you are buying them to use in an offroad club, make sure yours are compatible with theirs
