Low Band

[unodonut]

Trying to get some more information on the Low Band. Is an FCC license required to operate on it?

Unless you're using 49MHz walkie-talkies, which are Part 15 devices that don't require a license.

Or cordless phones, or baby monitors.

But, OP, to expand on an answer for your question. If you are looking at regular two-way land mobile radio use on low band, then yes, a license is required just like any other band.

If you're talking 30-50 MHz then that's "CQ DX" territory. Big antennas, too. Good luck.
