Well, I found them all here:

http://direct.motorola.com/ENS/phonesele...OWAYRADIOS
Looks like its a two-way device (pair talk) and made in China only, doesnt appear on Motorola's homepage.
Yes but where ever you go in the world the frequency changes. US ( as i know it) is very different from JP. Thats why as ask if these will work becasue they are from RSOV which is in HK.
RSOV's Motorolas are the same as the US Motorola's (could be an older model as such not in the Motorola homepage).

Do they work in Japan/HK? Yep technically they do Big Grin. OTOH are they legal? Nope...although in HK they're not so strict about it. In Japan, we've used them in the fields...whilst on the ski slopes, I've had "someone" (emergency services?) told me to get off their channel. Take note that if ski patrol catches you using one of these they may confiscate and fine you.

If U want legit, U'll have to go with the Japanese ones which are somewhat weak in signal strength. To get stronger ones, U need to get a proper ham licence.
ok
I was drawn the the cheapness of these on RSOV and nothing elso.
I want a radio that works for the least amount og cash.
How about headsets or throat mics? Are you thinking about getting any of those? If so then plan your purchase well. Otherwise you have a choice...

1. If you play public games and want to communicate with your designated team members there then a JP radio might be best. Most people I have talked to and seen use ICOMs or Alincos.

2. If you want to communicate with most of the people in TKO and the other foreign based Airsoft teams then the Motorolas is suggested. A licnese is required to operate these radios legally.

3. If you want to cover both scenarios above then get a more expensive radio that covers a wider frequency range from ebay. A license would be required to operate these radios legally.

3.
option 2.

How much is a license?

and yeah i would get a headset for it too.
me 2 Wink i wanna be wired (throat mic)
Apologies correction on the above for Point 2. Foreign radios are not legal in Japan unless they have the "Technical Conformity Mark" on them and even them there are some restricitons.

I am no expert on the subject but the below website should answer your questions.
