as the link to the letter that industry Canada states, there have been complaints from industry users.
I believe the reality is that unless you abuse it, or that you use it on a commercial channel you should be fine.
I am looking for a vehicle radio, that I will license for the rr chanels, that will have enough memory to program in some of the local ham frequencies as well.
I have used my baofeng to talk with a couple of local repeaters, which greatly increases your range
On another note radioditty is having a sale on their gd-77 dmr radio.
It adds the benefits of private digital conversations and the analog capabilities of the baofengs
JUST BUY A I COM radio and you are done bla bla bla or you cheap p-ck a old motorola 1000 they are old and still the best $ value
Just going to bring this subject up again as it's now 2019 and fast approaching 2020 .
#1 Want handheld
#2 I would think highest wattage available without taking out a second mortgage
#3 For Road safety in the bush so would need to be able to program in the RR channels . I talked to a logging truck driver 2 years ago and they really appreciate when hunters have these radios to listen for activity. SAFETY !
#4 Ease of use
#5 Communication between hunting partner without abusing it .
So please let me know what make you have ? What model you have ? What price ? Where is it made ? where did you buy from ?
You all know me by now, I ask a lot of questions, but I'm greatfull for replies !!

Read back a few pages the info is there. I went to local shop got 8 channel Kenwood for $300 & change, learned about license & maintain one. Cheaper Baofengs have more features, channels & programmable (technically prohibited in the field). 1 Kenwood 2 Baofengs used on hunt last year.
Icom in the truck, easily 30-60km range depending on terrain. Dont think i paid more than 200-300 $ for it, came programmed and i installed it. Baofeng 85 (i think) handheld 3-5 km depending on terrain. Think was 50 bucks or so. If you want the radio for fsr get a good truck unit. Imo the range on handhelds are shit in the mountains.

For the truck https://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/icom-2300h-5579
I have one in my pickup, I have a few friends with the same one and everyone is happy. I have a 400 or 500 channel Kenwood in my work truck but it's not field programmable and it was more money.
I have a very small pickup so was hoping to avoid an installed unit . Rented a truck unit two years ago Two guys in my truck ,rifles , antenna cables to me = major clutter . That’ why I was thinking hand held then maybe if you can get a better magnetic arias for the roof and plug it in to one of handhelds ?
