I don’t think it’s only baofengs. There are cheap broadcast FM transmitters that are being sold and churches buy them for drive in services. Sales of these exploded during the pandemic. Ria N2RJ On Tue, Feb 2, 2021 at 1:53 PM Bob Famiglio, K3RF <RBFamiglio@verizon.net> wrote:
No, he got the letters from Homeland Security, FBI, whoever about the “Ham Radios” (not) the rioters all have which they mainly get cheap from Amazon et al.

That unusual FCC warning we discussed is the tip of that iceberg.
