The attached Word file is a digest of the original issue

of marketing of these radios by Walmart.com .  In recent months the

distribution by major marketers had changed somewhat with

Amazon now requiring documentation from the FCC prior to

allowing sales through their website. However, what is usually

supplied is documentation for radios other than what is presented

for sale.  This tactic was used 8 years ago,, and non-matching

type approval documentation has been a hallmark of the importation

of this non-Part 90 and non-amateur equipment.

           The PDF is a copy of the background of one of the FCC citations

issued in the is matter.
