This is also why you have those "export"c radios, which have been manufactured with other country´s regulations in mind.

Yes we know this and IF I had my way we would move away from AM to FM and digital too. Also i would push for a expanded MURS ( VHF CB ) since It would solve many problems for truckers who need clear channles when out on the road.
EXPORT RADIOS do not exsist under our laws it is a made up turm by the sellers and dealers they are uncertified or illegal but our FCC has no provision for them if they did inforcement would get very interesting.

You can find me on 29.600 mhz
