Answer 1

As long as you don't transmit, the radio is legal. The moment you key up that microphone, however, you better have that license! There is no cutoff as far as RF output goes - you have to have a license to transmit, whether your rig puts out a kilowatt or a thousandth of a watt. The penalties in Canada for unlicensed operation are as severe as they are here in the USA - which can be a fine as high as ten thousand dollars and up to two years in prison!

Hey - licensing classes are available all over Canada, they're very inexpensive and your beginner's level license is not all that hard to earn. Why have the dang radio if y'ain't gonna talk to folks, eh?
