Walkie Talkies?

Looking for some clarification on the C3 form - on the "prohibited and restricted goods" list it includes "Radio transmitters(walkie-talkies, Citizen Band Radios, cordless telephones, etc.) not approved for use in the UK."   I'm trying to parse this out - does that mean that NO walkie-talkies or cordless phones are permitted, or that only some are?   We wouldn't be bringing any phones with us, but had thought about bringing the walkie-talkies we've used when hiking.

TIA for any help with this.

I've seen walkie-talkies sold here, so likely not an issue. What you have is likely pretty bog-standard.

Google your brand with UK in the search line and see what comes up. Also, look at the info from the box, instructions or whatever you might have retained, and see if there's a CE mark anywhere.

Not something I would particularly worry about, but always well to ask. I brought cordless phones - just had to get a new power supply for them.

The key is "not approved for use"
The issue is over what frequency the walkie-talkies/radios etc using. The uk government licence different wavelenghts out to the police, military, bbc, mobile phones etc. Since every country will have their own banding system,  they are trying to stop people bringing in items that would be able to pick up these secure wave lenghts. So it's an issue of what frequence the unit uses rather than possesion.
