Thanks Kermit. Lindquist has a piece on it in the works. This is the result of a good deal of FCC advocacy by the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) in which I participated on behalf of ARRL. These same radios are being actively marketed now, today, on Amazon and at WalMart, among other retail outlets. chris On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 2:59 PM, Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv < arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote:

Hello ALL -

Marketing of Boefeng UV-5R V2+ radios outside of their authorization earns Amcrest an FCC Citation and order. Seems that these radios operate even in the VHF aviation portion of the spectrum.... well outside the scope of the limits of their equipment authorization.

It is nice to see some enforcement action !
