Questions about Vertex Standard

[mctomos17]

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.

These are pretty much the same questions you asked in the other thread you created here: http://forums.radioreference.com/vertex-standard/220090-questions-about-vertex-standard-radios.html

All the answers are pretty much the same as what rdale answered here and what others answered in your other thread!!!!!!

This is the 5th thread you have started, the last 3 all dealt with the same subject. The first two you were asking a question about transmitting on a receiver. I am going to just close this with the suggestion that you read the replies you have received in this and the previous 2 threads that have the same answers.

Do not venture down this road a 4th time or I will have to assume you are just looking disrupt the forums.
