People are ignorant about the Citizen band license (which is free)/Citizen band radio.All other vhf/UHF/hf radios requires license in India.Citizen band radios are very useful in a convoy, trekking etc.Its a useful method of wireless communication in good hands and can be used in the places where mobile blackouts are there, especially in high ranges.

"KOCHI: The rampant use of wireless equipment by unauthorized persons in the state has resulted in leakage of police communication between control rooms, in the last few months. The police have taken the issue seriously with the Union home ministry, as this illegal interception is taking place from fishing boats that operate off the Kerala coast.

"Most of the Chinese-made FM radio sets available in the market have FM bandwidth from 70 MHz to 200 MHz. These sets can be used to tune into the police bandwidth - 76 MHz to 86 MHz. We have raised this issue at a police conference held in New Delhi recently," said police telecommunication wing superintendent V B Sukeshan. "Though the radios cannot be used for communication, they can over hear it," Sukeshan added.


Normally, the private organizations are given licences to operate between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz. "Any attempt to enter the frequency used by the police is an offence under the Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act," Sukeshan said.

Recently the police have seized a boat off Beypore coast for using wireless system without a valid licence. "If anyone wants to operate wireless equipment, he or she should get a licence from the Union government.

The companies dealing in wireless equipment, issue it to individuals only if he or she has a valid licence," he added.

A senior executive of a major wireless equipment company said that they sell only to those who have valid licences.

However, a senior marine enforcement official confirmed that many fishing boats, when they go out to sea use wireless systems, which were sourced illegally.Chinese-made radios can be tuned to receive police bandwidth."
