Ah, sorry! I misunderstood what you meant. You are correct.
You're likely aware that you can get CB/MURS/FRS type radios without a license, but that wouldn't help that much. It would be nice to have a small slice of each ham band that would be available to non-licensed folks, but the hardware would be tricky, you'd have high physical capability (and cost) but it would have to be locked down to basically a 'slice selector', speaker and microphone...basically what you get with FRS radios.
Yeah, I just think it would be nice to have a "non-custom equipment" license. Allow me to buy the BaoFeng equipment with a license based on radio etiquette, laws, etc.
And avoid all the test questions about amplifiers, and antenna configuration, etc.
The other month in Canada we had a huge outage of 3-4 cellular service providers and home internet issues due to a MPLS failure. Being work from home due to COVID I had no idea how to determine if this was a local level event, or a larger event. I turned on my trusty AM/FM/LW/SW radio. However in the fashion of today's radio landscape they're all multicast of national programming etc. Nothing about a huge outage.
Had I a license there are a few HAM guys I know 60 minutes down the road and it would have been a decent check to see the severity of the outage.
I'm welcome to being corrected, however my understanding is that I'd need a full license to legally broadcast on those bands.
