A friend is going to play on the islands of Southeast Asia. Several of my friends have handheld radio stations (usually used for climbing in the mountains in China, U and V segments are available). Can the device be taken to the islands of Southeast Asia for use? If you can, it's much more convenient to make a phone call on the island, which is not that big. I don’t know if entering and leaving the customs and using it abroad (an island in Sabah, Malaysia) will there be legal risks?

In fact, I think the radio station should be able to bring it out of China if the domestic procedures are complete. An amateur radio station owned by an individual in accordance with the law and registered with the Chinese government is not restricted from leaving the country, and the customs cannot control it. However, according to regulations, as long as the area of ​​use specified on the license is out of use, it cannot be used any more.

Whether you can enter the foreign customs or not depends on other people's regulations. It is estimated that things like North Korea and Cuba will not work. However, generally no one has checked the mobile station. If it is found, it will show the identity of HAM, and it should be fine to show the radio license. If it is used abroad, it is estimated that it will not work according to the law. With reference to Chinese laws and regulations, foreigners must report when they come to use Chinese radio stations, and there are a lot of departmental procedures for bringing their own radio stations. If you use it secretly, of course you are at your own risk. For illegal operation of amateur radio stations, administrative penalties (fines, confiscation of equipment, revocation of operating certificates, radio station licenses, etc.); violation of national regulations, unauthorized installation and use of radio stations (stations), or unauthorized occupation of frequencies, and order to stop using them Anyone who refuses to stop using it later, interferes with the normal conduct of radio communications, and causes serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance, and a fine or a fine; those who are regarded as espionage shall be dealt with in accordance with the law. So pay attention to standard use.

Japanese radio regulations:
To use walkie-talkies in Japan, you need to use a radio walkie-talkie with a technically suitable mark. The use of radio walkie-talkies without the technical compliance mark or the use of unmarked radio telephones will violate the Japanese Radio Law.

For example, Chinese standard public walkie-talkies, American standard FRS or GMRS, Australian standard UHF channel CB and other equipment are prohibited in Japan because they may cause signal interference to important radio communications such as disaster prevention wireless.

U.S. Radio Regulations:
If domestic wireless equipment is brought to the United States, it must be filed in the country first, and then filed with the local radio administration in the United States, and used in accordance with the US amateur radio frequency regulations. Generally speaking, mobile phones with a call range of 1-2 miles do not require a permit, and those with a call range of 5-25 miles need to obtain a permit from the FCC.
