TWO-WAY RADIO CONSIDERATIONS FOR 4X4 DRIVERS:

Just to clarify costs, I want to add this section as well:

The application fee for a VHF frequency is much more expensive than for a 29Mhz frequency. Here are the tables:

SIMPLEX (Local)
Application Fee: R620.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted

SIMPLEX (Roving)
Application Fee: R620.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted. (Minimum quantity of Radios: 50)

DUPLEX:
Application Fee: R1100.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R48 per Radio, if granted
(Minimum of 40 Radios required in Rural Areas, 80 in Metropolitan Areas)

LINKS:
Application Fee: R730.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted

29MHz:
Application Fee: R210.00 (per application)
Licence Fees: R42 per Radio, if granted (for Ski-Boats) / R33 per Radio (for 4x4)

VHF frequencies are a valuable resource and are protected. It is understood that 29MHz frequencies are for purposes of many users sharing (relatively) short range frequencies for communal use, whereas FM frequencies are intended for Businesses etc who would prefer privacy (albeit it limited) with their radio communications.
