Not being facetious but is a licence for those similar to a dog licence nowdays considering the circumstances of our limited usage?
Its not about licensing its about fair use of space taking in consideration with power and frequency. I mean I could come along and use a 12.5W burner transmitter and then nobody would be able to talk except me. This is kinda the same as what you do when you use your 4-5W transmitters in an area of spectrum designed for 0.5W.

You may also feel its over regulation or needless licensing, but I know the other side of a deregulated, no license "free for all" (such as the TV spectrum in Milian) and trust me, you don't want that.

 
To chip in my 10 pence, I'd say get some of the Baofeng UV-5R. They're completely programmable and they also work in both UHF and VHF, giving you many more frequencies to work with and possibly (technically) a little longer ranger in VHF.

Don't forget you'll need a programming cable, but they're pretty cheap. You can get the software from their official website https://baofengtech.com/download its the "CHIRP" software you'll need

Also PLEASE don't forget to License your radios. Just using random frequencies is not only a dick move to those you might be transmitting over the top of its also completely illegal.


VHF generally will give a lower range at an airsoft site where there are lots of obstacles.
