This is *WHY* one must not "Blend" Amateur Radio with "CB"

Why don't you just ask the FCC? And stop asking everyone else. None of the people here can answer your questions. Other then the ones that have all ready be answered. You repeat the same things over & over again. None of us here are FCC agents. So go ask Laura Smith. It's her job to enforce FCC regs. Not ours. Please tell her to do her job. Then maybe you will be happy. Because anything that any of us say is totally unacceptable to you. Because you are not comprehending. So again I repeat go ask the FCC 202 418 7450 Fax 202 418 2810. When all else fails go to the source.

 

Here it is in a nut shell...

In view of the foregoing, the following "10-meter" transceivers are not acceptable for importation or marketing into/within the United States. Importation and marketing of these units is illegal pursuant to Section 302(b) of the Communications Act and Section 2.803 of the rules. Willful violations of the Rules and the Act may subject the violator to a monetary forfeiture of not more than $11,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation. The Commission continues to review this type of equipment, and additional makes and models may be added to this list in the future.

 

I just quoted the source. Oviously you dont know how to read.

 

Go look at the 11 Mods for Icoms, Yaesu's, & Kenwoods. They can be done just as easy as any Export radio. And some can be done even faster.

 

But 10 meter is legal on those HF radios..........................DUH!!

 

Post deleted misunderstood last post.

 

Thanks you are correct. Post corrected to say 11 meters Mod.

 

I love the FCC and their nonsense. They ban those export radios. But they approve my Yaesu VX-7R. I can unsolder two joints, and restore transmit to the entire spectrum above 30 mhz. Not just the ham bands. Its as easy to do as any of the exports. How did that get past the FCC lab?

 

LOL Obviously!!!! LOL

 

I posted this once already...But guess you were not paying attention...again.

The reason the FCC is not going after these radios like they were, is because it has been proven time after time in Court, that Ham Radios are not any harder to modify to transmit on 11 meter than the Export Radios which are on the "No-No" list...Mater a fact, it's easier to modify some Ham Radios to transmit on 11 meter's than some of the Exports...

FCC has had most of their cases thrown out of Court for this reason...So why would they continue to take people to Court only to have their Case thrown out, because the FCC approved radios are just as easily modified to 11 meter as the Exports....

And Ham Ticket or not, it is illegal to use a radio of any kind that has CB Band, and Ham Bands all in one unit...

By the way...The so called "Free-Band" really does not exist...Best I can remember what is often called "Free Band Channels...Is the 10 Meter Band...Maybe 10 and 12 Meter Bands...

Where "Free-Band" came in to play, is because most CB Antenna's are broad banded enough that a person can use these channels without having to change antenna's or re-tune just for the upper and lowers...

Lets not forget to, that since less than 1% of the population of the United States even own a CB, or Export...Why would the FCC even bother with trying to enforce laws written years ago, when such a small majority of people in this Country even has one of these radios...

And I'll do you one better...Out of the few who have Export Radios, Probably less than 1% ever get off channel 19!

People who buy these radios are not buying them for all the extra channels...They are buying them for the POWER, and nothing else...Just so happens the radios can go to other frequency's other than 11 meter. (IF they have been modified)
