HRO for example will NOT sell to any one UNLESS they have a
license. IT is illegal for NON amateurs to operate a radio unless
being controlled by licensed amateur. Flame away.

Lou,
I think Naveen meant FCC, not FBI.? The comment is because Preston
Roberts does not have an amateur radio operator license.? Any
transmission from his QTH would violate Part 97, hence the raid.?
(a Google lookup for ETA Prime shows the location in North
Carolina so that the FCC would be the enforcement branch of
government).
As I had stated before, there is a shortage of the radio, so until
the backorder is filled, it would be better to sell the units to
licensed Hams.? At some point, the backlog will disappear, and
advertising is needed to boost sales.? I already have one, so
there is no impact on me.
The above is my opinion.? Others can be different, and that is OK.
