Required License

[mouaherbert]

hello,

I am new to Baofeng and I have a question;

could anyone advise if we are required a special license to operate any of the Baofeng radios ?
My purpose of using a radio is for personal use at my father 99 acres of land located in Wagoner Oklahoma and not for business.

thank you in advance for any feedbacks.

Operating on any Amateur Radio Frequency requires an FCC License. Google "HAM Technician License requirements." The Baofeng UV-5R series does support some License Free Frequencies. Google "MURS/FRS/GMRS RADIO: the new 'CB Bands'" for more specific information.
