Planning to go for a camping trip. According to this document (in Norwegian but easy to understand), I can use a radio running PMR446 and KDR 444 freqs. Baofeng can do this.
The question is: is the Baofeng unit legal itself? And is it legal to take into the country?
I remember that some countries impose restrictions on taking your radios with you, and in some countries it's illegal to use a non-certified model. Also note that Norway is not in the European Union and has separate laws.
UPDATE AND DETAILS
One small detail: I do not hold CEPT or any other amateur license.
Thanks for the info and your answer SandPiper; it was exhaustive but I decided to dig a little bit more. I reached directly to the authorities and got this reply:
Dear Alexander,
Your radio, Baofeng UV-82 is a radio made for amateur radio usage only. It is not a radio made for use on frequencies where you need a licence from the authorities or general authorisations frequencies like PMR446 or KDR444.
PMR446 and KDR444 frequencies does have a general authorisation in Norway, but radios for use on these frequencies must be manufactured for this purpose. There are special rules/standards for these radios. Radios for use on PMR446 and KDR444 frequencies shall have a maximum output of 0,5W e.r.p. and shall have an integrated antenna. Increasing output power and use of external antenna must not be possible on such radios.
Baofeng UV-82 is only for use on Amateur radio frequencies and the user must hold an amateur radio licence.
I have attached an english unauthorized version of general authorisations for the use of radio frequencies in Norway. See chapter XIII for information regarding KDR444 and PMR446.
