Do 2-way radios that work in Australia work in Italy, Greece and Spain?

My wife and I have a GME and Uniden 2-way radio that we use here in Australia. Is there anyone who can tell us whether these radios will work in Dubai, Italy, Greece and Spain? Are there any laws that would prevent us taking them out of Australia and using them in these countries? Has anyone had any experience or tips that they could pass onto us regarding these. Many thanks.

1) Why wouldn't they work? Do radio waves work differently in Australia than the rest of the world?

 

2) As far as laws, they may be illegal in other countries. I am sure that you can do some research on Google to find out.

 

3) Don 't take them. There are loads of threads on CC and the unanimous opinion on all of them is that everyone on the ship will hate you if you bring them.

It sounds like you’re planning to use them ashore, which won’t annoy your fellow cruise passengers. But sometimes the frequencies that are assigned to consumer use in one country are used for emergency services or similar in another country, so that’s worth checking. It’s way outside of anything I know about, but Google is likely to have something about it.
