    One of the prizes we are giving away are radios that require a license. The Winner must agree to getting their license, or select another prize.

    No issues here. License is required for certain frequencies. Saw that in another post by @Prerunner1982. Was considering it anyway. Alot of Clubs and offroad wheeling events require you to have some sort of 2 way radio. Just a heads up to other members looking to wheel with clubs and Jeep Jamboree events.

    I didn't post this specifically in regards to the prize, got into a conversation on another forum and thought it was good info. Besides I spent time putting the info together I had to post it to make me feel like my time was well spent. Lol

    Out here, in AZ, most of us are making the switch to FM, so I think this is fantastic stuff!

    I did think it was cool that the Denali Off road club had a license for 151.505 Mhz for their club to use.
