This gives you (or your group, company etc) exclusive use of that frequency but some times only in that area. We have one for my employer which states "in Nelson / Tasman / Marlborough area at Max Output Power of 5 watts

Its also the reason why there was so many issues with the Illegal Tracking Collars as other user were paying to for the same frequencies the collars operated on.
What the hunters did not understand was for the licenced users to change frequencies would have meant huge costs in having repeaters reprogramed or replaced and the same for all vehicle / handheld radios which at on average $800 for HH and $1500 for a Vehicle soon adds up if you have a large fleet.
