Going to trek in Tibet. Would like to take 2-way radios (Motorola Spirit
UHF).

Is there a published list of available & unavailable frequencies in PRC?

Thanks.

The PRC restricts the import of radio transmitting equipment, other than
the temporary import of mobile phones. You need to ask this question of
your Chinese embassy. You would need an import licence and my guess is
that you will not get one.

I don't know if there are any (transmitting) licence exempt allocations,
or whether they are available to non-citizens.

yes they are a bunch of scumbags.......I tried to send a faulty twin sim
mobile phone back to chinky land but the post office said I
couldn't......hate everything about China.......we should boycott their
junk.......

FYI, PRC officials flat turned down a request to import these 4 radios for
short-term use. No explanation given.

Thanks.

Officials of totalitarian police states don't have to give explanations.

AFAIK their version of 446PMR is 409MHz SRPR, 20 public channels
within 409.750-409.9875 (12.5kHz, 500mW)

Same as in HK

Probably the easiest way of getting radios for use in Tibet is to source
them locally, and get them shipped to a convenient collection point.
China and Hong Kong are certainly not short of manufacturers!

Even for an American in the UK, that would be the best approach, as
radios not specifically approved for PMR 446 are not covered by the
class licence.

For China, it will be part a question of protecting their own industry
and partly a national security issue. Given its history, national
security is likely to be a particularly important issue in Tibet.
