$100 Hong Kong is $12.89 US; I doubt you will find many VHF marine
radios $12.89 US.
There are amateur radios available for $500 HK. That is not out of
the question.
$500 is 5 times $100, which is the amount in question.
And I don't know what other countries use the dollar, but I'm sure there
are.
I already told you what they are.

Which does not mean short stations do not have to be licensed. They
still do.
Yes, but the original question was about monitoring, and no license is
required for that.

It is exactly the issue. You can't say whether a license is required or
not until you know what country the OP is in.
How much are you willing to bet he is in neither the USA or Canada, both
of which have essentially the same rules.
Also, he said he wanted to monitor on land.

That does not mean the licensing requirements are the same.
They are for the USA and Canada.

I don't think reviews are illegal to operate in any country, though maybe
North Korea...
But you don't know. As I said before, in the U.S., marine stations
still need to be licensed when on land (the same is true of aircraft
radios, BTW).
Which has nothing to do with what I said; read it again.
