1)I want to get a VX 354. Is this a good radio?
2)Also, I would like to be able to listen to fire and police calls in my town. Will i be able to do so after programming frequencies?
3) Next, I have a friend across town that has one of these radios. He seems to like it but im just wondering if I will be able to talk to him without getting fined by the FCC since I do not have a license.
4) I know that some GMRS radios have set aside FRS Frequencies that you are permitted to talk on without a license. Is the VX-354 this type of radio?
5) Will the FCC catch me if i do not have a license and I am operating this radio?
PS, I do NOT want to talk on police channels. Please do not respond with answers saying I am going to talk on the police channels.
