Is it legal to use this radio on land?

I don't know why you couldn't monitor communications from land and report some distress happening on water.

In theory you can have ship to shore communications on some channels but under very limited circumstances. It should involve necessary communications that are germane to water navigation, not grocery lists or where you want to eat that evening. You can always tune in and listen anywhere.

Need to check with the host country. Every country has its own laws about what radios and frequencies can be used for what purposes. Radio users may also need a license to operate in that country.

It surely could be. We installed it to make the radio portable. We use it out on the porch, when working in the garage and outside. It is a nice feature.

The FCC clearly indicates this is legal and no license requirement for the MURS frequencies. See the following from the FCC. https://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/multi-use-radio-service-murs-0God Bless you and your church.

In most countries, yes. In Brazil for example, it is a federal felony to operate these radios without a license.

NO! This is a HAM radio ONLY. It is not FCC Part 90 certified for commercial use.

Not unless you unlock the radio. An that is against FCC regulation's. Could get into trouble. But contact the FCC.

Technically, you need to get permission from a vessels captain to use any radio equipment at sea. Practically, I don't think you will have any problems using this while in or near a port and that is the only time you will be able to reach a shore based repeater. You are an FCC licensed amateur radio operator aren't you? If not, than this is not the right radio for you. Look for a FRS or MURS radio instead.

No you cannot this is for cb/10 meters only. The Baofeng radio is in the vhf/uhf frequency range and will damage the radio if you do.

Legally this radio CANNOT be used on any FRS, MURS or GMRS frequency. So yes it can be programmed but it is not legal to transmit out on those frequencies. For licensed GMRS use, you will need the UV-82C (the C notes the legally allowed Commercial use).

Yes it can, however there are technical legalities regarding power out put, and being a FCC part 90 radio instead of Part 95 that GRMS radios are required to be.

I would think that you can. However it would be best to ask the cruise line and make sure that the country you are going to allows you to use the radio.

1. No. The FCC licenses radio stations, not devices. However, if you transmit on an unused frequency, there's no danger of your transmitter interfering with licensed radio stations, so the FCC won't bother you. Furthermore, at .1 watt power (low setting), or .5 watts (high), you needn't worry about interference and the FCC. You can find a list of unused frequencys at RadioLocator.com.2. I get a strong, clear signal all over my yard. I really like this unit.

Not for the citizen band radio frequencies. This radio only transmits on such unlicensed freqs, there are FCC rules included to keep users out of trouble, in short no profanity or commercial use, and no modifications are allowed beyond its intended output power or channels broadcast upon.

It wouldn't need to be. The hands free law states that 2-way radio can be used!

As far I know, you do not need license! These radios only have 2 miles range

There are no legal uses for these that that do not require a license. They are not legal on FRS due to the excessive power, detachable antenna and lack of FCC type acceptance. They will not tune to MURS frequencies.
