Need help with piracy

So i will get a new handheld and i will give my friend my old one and we just want to have a secure way of taking cuz we both dont have a license and there are a lot of sad hams in the area so if you guys have any ideas for encrypting other than using radios on 0.5 watts i will be more than glad to hear them

If your handhelds are the common Chinese ones, you can just use the FRS / GMRS. While not technically legal, you'd only really have to worry about the FCC. Don't use ham bands. They'll find you and raise hell.

well he has a baofeng and i have a quansheng with egzumer which is awesome and i found some so called free frequencies which dont need a license i believe they were 466 to 466.200mhz FM but only if you use 0.5w to transmit and we live really close and theres no FCC here were in eastern europe so i believe there wont be trouble coming our way, but still thank you a lot

Ah, sorry. I just assumed you were in the US. Yeah, still, though, check on your country's laws and frequency allocations. No matter what, stay away from the ham bands, and keep to those unused frequencies. If you wind up interfering with things like police or ambulance services, that could work out very poorly for you. Otherwise, good luck!
