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.
