Radios on FSR
I hope I can get some guidance from experienced members.
The old Boafengs were popular radios among recreational users of the FSRs. The government protocols have changed and I need some help from the more knowledgeable members on these questions:
- What is your recommendation for a radio for monitoring the communications on FSR roads now? For me, this radio will be used for a limited time per year, and so, I like it to work reasonably well while being low cost and low maintenance.
- My understanding is that you need a license to use these radios. Any ideas how this can be done in COVID times? Better yet, correct me and tell me that a license is not required.
- Is it illegal to use the Bofengs for monitoring the communications on FSRs, if they can still work with the new protocols (not sure if they can)?
Thanks all in advance,
B
