Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I purchased a backup handheld radio
for cross country flights, etc. and was wondering if it is permitted to use
it so I can contact my family while flying over the local area.

I would use a frequency not used locally for any other purposes.

Your thoughts?
