What is an unlicensed walkie-talkie?

An unlicensed walkie-talkie is a wireless communication device designed for short distances and used without the required government permits. This type of walkie-talkie is often used for personal or business communications and is available with no license required to use the frequencies.

Please note that in some countries it may be illegal to use certain frequencies without a license. It is therefore important to check local laws and regulations before purchasing or using an unlicensed walkie-talkie.

Does an unlicensed walkie-talkie support the use of an amplifier?

Does an unlicensed walkie-talkie support the use of an amplifier?

In many countries, including the Netherlands, the use of an amplifier for a walkie-talkie without a license is not allowed. Radio communications equipment must comply with certain technical standards and the use of amplifiers may interfere with other radio communications systems and violate the law. If you are considering using an amplifier for your radio, we recommend that you check the laws, regulations and applicable licensing requirements before you begin.

What's the next option?

You can opt for a walkie-talkie with a permit. Unfortunately, these will not work with your unlicensed walkie-talkies because they use different frequencies and sometimes a different protocol. This is very annoying, but unfortunately unavoidable. Licensed walkie-talkies are:

  1. Motorola SL1600
  2. Motorola DP2400e UHF
  3. Motorola R7a non keypad UHF

Can I still use the license-free walkie-talkies?

These do not work with the new walkie-talkies (with permit) or with the repeater. You can continue to use this as a separate set.
