    They need a PMR licence. Any suitable channel and licenced FM base (Motorola?) will do.

    They can't be used legally as licence free PMR446.

    They can be converted legally to Amateur use (which needs a licence)

    You need an old DOS PC running real DOS to program some Motorolas. Tait are popular conversion from Low band VHF to 4m Amateur due to easy programming.
