That looks great Cassie... Hope it actually works... Sometimes even when you do follow the correct channels it does'nt work..

Cassie,
we're touring up to Serengeti and back June-July 2012 via Zim, Moz, Malawi and obviously Tanzania- 4 vehicles- radios: what do we need re licences?

Cassie, het jy dalk die kontak besonderhede vir oorgrens radio lisensie aansoek in Mosambiek? Sal waarder word indien jy of enige lid kan help

My past experiences in trying to obtain temp radio permits whilst travelling to our neighbors has been very stressful & unsuccessful every time.

All I do now is remove the mobile unit & take handhelds which are stashed away during border crossings.

Hennie, yes it would be a requirement....however getting this done is a major challenge if not impossible.....

When we went to NAM in June of this year I dealt with a chap at CRAN (the Nam version of ICASA) whose surname was Paulus. He was very helpful, even though no-one ever asked for the lisence.

I found that if you send mail in the latter part of the day, you are more likely to get a reply the same day.

Theunis, I can confirm that Recently got my radio license. Was a matter of a week from application sent in; to receiving the license. Their website is: http://www.cran.na/ and for the forms: http://www.cran.na/Forms.html . Licenses used to be difficult to get hold off and would take forever; at least that's what I heard, but with CRAN now responsible, it has become fairly easy. CRAN: Communications Regulatory Authority Namibia.

Contact them via the email address provided on the website, but you will most likely be referred to Lazarus Paulus.
