Frequency and permissions: what needs registration and what does not
One of the first questions when buying is, "Do you need permission?" The answer depends on the range. Let’s break it down so you know what you’re getting into before buying.
Professional VHF and UHF – registration is required
The ranges 136–174 and 400–470 MHz are distributed and require frequency assignment. This is not a formality: working on someone else’s frequency interferes with those to whom it is allocated, and ends with a trial. Registration takes time, so it starts in advance, not after the stations have arrived.
CB 27 MHz - no registration
A civil range open to all. Pros: put and work, no papers, good range on the open track. Cons: the air is general and noisy, everyone hears you, the antenna needs a large one. For road communication and columns - a working option.
PoC over the cellular network - there are no frequencies at all
Stations like XT-810 and XT-805 They work through a cellular network or corporate Wi-Fi. There is no radio channel in the usual sense, so there is nothing to register. The range is equal to the coverage area of the operator – brigades in different cities in the same group. Payment: dependence on someone else’s network and subscription fee.
How to choose between them
- Closed territory, you need autonomy and communication without other people's networks - a professional range with design.
- Objects throughout the city or country, the network is everywhere – PoC.
- Track, column, cottage, minimum formalities - CB 27 MHz.
