They just haven’t bothered to track you down. Just because nobody is beating down your door doesn’t mean you aren’t interfering with someone every time you use it. These things have been tested and found to be flawed. You can’t play in our playground if you aren’t willing to buy the multi-hundred dollar toys…. So see, it works and I should shut up right? I’ve seen many get defensive thinking that anyone who trash talks the Baofeng is just being stuck up. You tune it to your local repeater frequency, you hear your friends, they hear you and nobody comes banging on your door. But radios in the Baofeng quality range? Maybe it’s about time they be banned. Maybe it’s just a matter of adding a few components (in the form of a filter) to the existing design. I absolutely think that radios in this price range SHOULD be a thing. Posted in News, Radio Hacks, Slider Tagged baofeng, DA 18-980, fcc, FM transceiver, radio, transceiver Post navigation So if you’re an American who hasn’t already got a Baofeng or similar, you might be well advised to pick one up while you still can.
The Bureau warns that fines can be as high as $19,639 per day for continued marketing and up to $147,290 - we have no idea how they arrive at those odd numbers. Apparently, opponents of these radios claim about 1 million units a year show up in the US, so this is a big business. However, they are insisting that imported radios that can transmit on other frequencies must be certified. Read the FCC statement and you’ll learn they are not trying to restrict the sale of ham gear. It’s traditional and normal for radio amateurs to use devices capable of transmitting out-of-band, but with a licence to lose should they do that they are also a lot more careful about their RF emissions.

We’re guessing that radio amateurs are not the problem here, and the availability of cheap transceivers has meant that the general public are using them for personal communication without a full appreciation of what frequencies they may be using.
We’ve reported before on the shortcomings of some of these radios, but strangely this news doesn’t concern itself with their spurious emissions. In particular they are talking about devices that can transmit on unauthorised frequencies, and ones that are capable of transmission bandwidths greater than 12.5 kHz. The FCC though are not entirely happy with these radios, and QRZ Now are reporting that the FCC has issued an advisory prohibiting the import or sale of devices that do not comply with their rules. With extremely basic handheld radios starting at around ten dollars and a capable dual-bander being yours for somewhere over twice that, most licencees will now own a Baofeng UV5 or similar radio. Thirty years later FM mobile operation may be a bit less popular, but thanks to Chinese manufacturing the barrier to entry is lower than it has ever been. A few hundred dollars secured you an FM walkie-talkie through which you could chat on your local repeater, and mobile radio was a big draw for new hams. SSTV: It's there, still working out the fiddly parts.There was a time when a handheld radio transceiver was an object of wonder, and a significant item for any radio amateur to own.
