    So can someone please answer for me the following:

    If someone were to use a set of radios that have come from the states and run on US frequencies, would they still work in NZ?

    e.g. Midland GXT100 5W radio set.

    Reason being that I was given a pair of these 5 years ago and have never really used them, but have a couple of hunts coming up where they may be of use.
    Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction

    They will work - the electromagnetic spectrum is no different in NZ, but the manmade rules and regulations and frequency allocations ARE different. You'd be committing various offences by transmitting on them.

    Would you not have to reprogramme to the nz Chanel's, assuming that is even possible?
    My understanding is that if they are ex USA, you will only be able to communicate with others of same origin. Fine if all members of a group have them, but no good to chat to say, a nz Rino.

    Not sure on the hard and fast rules on this one, but it would be hard to prosecute for using marine channels when onshore. After all, they are used for land to boat all the time.

    I've bought a bunch of Dualband Chinese (Baofeng) 5w handhelds that are as tough and reliable as any expensive company units I've used, Straight out of China off Ebay for about $40 shipped each, never looked back.

    Pretty sure that as long as both "Operators" have the right paperwork (assuming you want to dot your "i's") then its a non issue. I would imagine its the same even if you are not as long as you are not tying up ch 16 you should be fine. I would happily use one anywhere almost. I think I might actually put a UHF in the truck tho if we ever get it back
