    The only SRRS radio i could find locally is the one sold by 5Th Ave. Electronics, yung Smart Ranger kuno.

    Is it correct that UHF is better for places with obstructions, compared to VHF?

    Meron kayang UHF/VHF handset na one-time fee lang din? Not really looking into HAM radio, just need something that the family can use pag me lakad, that sort of stuff ^_^
    They also have a Cobra SRRS radio listed in OLX. Just search for "SRRS".

    AFAIK, outside the SRRS band, frequencies allocated for 2-way comms requires a commercial NTC license (ie. fleet, building security, etc.), where repeaters may also be allowed to be used to increase radio coverage.

    SRRS is technically the only band allocated for family/personal use here. Around 15-20 years ago, we used to own a pair of Motorola Pacer SRRS radios.

    UHF is typically better suited for use indoors.

    http://www.ntc.gov.ph/laws/mc/MC%201998/MC%207-6-98.pdf

    Heto ang mga fees.... Mahal....

    Type Approval
    Filing Fee P 150
    Laboratory fee P5,000
    Certificate fee P1,200

    Type Acceptance
    Filing fee P 150
    Certificate fee P1,200

    Kanino kayang standards itong sinunod nila? Normally,- pareho tayo ng US e. Pero, the circular was 1998.

    Kanino kaya "naibenta" ang FRS/GMRS band?... Malaking pera iyan kasi....

    Kailangang mag-brushup ako ng NTC rules.... Thanks bro.oj88 for the rectification........ DU1-IJA.....

    Found it

    Seems only PH is using the SRRS band? So SRRS radios are basically useless abroad?

    ^ They are usable, since all of them are operating on the same frequencies....

    However, the question is,- if they are "legal" over there?

    Is SRRS something that's unique to PH? Didn't find too many SRRS radios on the 'net.

    So, if you wanna follow NTC rules, other than SRRS, need ko talaga magpa certify/get a license? i don't like exams ^_^

    Yung ginagamit sa S&R, bodega, etc., those are etiher FRS/GMRS or SRRS?

    Are there any SRRS radios that take in AA/AAA batteries? i think the Cobra units do, but i'm told the range sucks, and is strictly line-of-sight

    Sorry po sa kakulitan, am just a little curious about this

    Don't buy Cobra. I have a pair I used back in 2014. The reception was only good when my car and my wife's CUV were behind each other. When we got separated by heavy rush hour freeway traffic, the reception was lousy.

    the NTC exam is not as hard as you might imagine, just like in the drivers license it's all about cars and road signs, sa ntc-radio operators license (class d and class c (technician class), it's all about the "ntc radio-use rules and guidelines lang, especially for the class-d license since you only need to take the elements 2 of the exam, while class c has 3 elements exams, 2, 3 and 4, mahirap lang and 4 because it's more on electronics like resistance, power, wattages adding resistors adding capacitors etc. But for elements 2, and 3, very easy, just a general ntc guidelines exams. sO IF YOU JUST WANT A SIMPLE RADIO LICENSE SO YOU CAN BRING A TWO WAY RADIO ANYWHERE IN PUBLIC, JUST TAKE THE CLASS-D LICENSE, ALTHOUGH YOU ARE LIMITED TO A VHF FREQUENCY 2 way RADIO ONLY. But if you want to use a Dual band UHF/VHF radio, then you need the Class C (Technician Class) License Exam. the first two parts of the exam are very easy anyway, so just study a little bit on the Elements 4 which is electronics. Oh by the way, ANY ECE ENGINEERS (Electronics & Communications Engr.) with a Board-Exam, is automatically entitled for a Radio-Operator's License Class-C, NTC License. He/She no longer need to take the exam.

    These are good tips. Yes dun na kayo sa legal.

    Just a clarification sir, for you to be legally able to operate VHF and UHF amateur frequencies, you need a Class Bravo license.

    Unless NTC changed the privileges
