Be advised that the FRS and/or GMRS radios sold in the US are NOT legal for use in the Philippines. FRS/GMRS operates in the 462 and 467 MHz band. Using a FRS/GMRS radio here may interfere with legitimate users of said bands.
Instead, the Philippines use the SRRS band on 325 MHz. This is the NTC-approved band for unlicensed 2-way radio use. Well, you only pay for the NTC license once when you buy the radio and it's perpetual.... no annual license renewal required.

Meron kami binili Kenwood 2 way radio. Ginagamit lang namin very seldom sa site operations. Kailangan pa ba namin kumuha ng NTC license or kasama na yun nung binili namin?
yan nga din alam ko, need ng ntc sticker. i think one of the tsikot people here was raided years ago for using a frs radio at work. ntc was able to pinpoint their location. fine lang naman yata then bayad ng ntc sticker. hassle lang nga pupunta ka pa sa ntc to get the sticker kung sa abroad bibili. but definitely the price overseas is much much lower than the units sold in RP. so anyone knows how much this ntc sticker is, just to see if it is worth the price difference and the hassle?
