[arrl-odv:32207] QST article from November 2015, Results of radios tested at Hamfests
by Kermit Carlson 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Good Morning, At a number of hamfests the ARRL Lab booth tested radios being usedby amateurs at the hamfest. The results were consistent with what had been found in lab testing. In those tests the transmitters of not ONE used portable transceiver made by a "major" manufacturer was found to be out of specificationwith regard to signal purity. Quite the opposite was found in the large field ofinexpensive radios imported from the Pacific Rim. This is the reprint from the November 2015 QST. 73, Kermit W9XA

[arrl-odv:32206] Background Material transceivers that are non-compliant, FCC Statement, and Sellers on Walmart.com
by Kermit Carlson 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Good Afternoon; The attached Word file is a digest of the original issueof marketing of these radios by Walmart.com . In recent months thedistribution by major marketers had changed somewhat withAmazon now requiring documentation from the FCC prior toallowing sales through their website. However, what is usuallysupplied is documentation for radios other than what is presentedfor sale. This tactic was used 8 years ago,, and non-matchingtype approval documentation has been a hallmark of the importationof this non-Part 90 and non-amateur equipment. The PDF is a copy of the background of one of the FCC citationsissued in the is matter. 73, Kermit W9XA
