Might want to check your FCC requirements. All Ham Radios that are for commercial sale in the US MUST be certified. We can use home-built radios on our frequencies as long as we meet the spectral and frequency requirements.

We can’t legally use a non-certified radio on other frequencies.

A common reason why a foreign produced radio is not offered for sale is that it operates on frequencies that are not allocated for the service in the US. Wi-Fi frequencies are a good example. The US frequencies aren’t the same as those in other parts of the world. That’s why manufacturers have different models for different countries.
