Re: Vara HF security encryption
|
Bundling a product that provides direct support for ham radio use with other components that are illegal to use in the US is a direct invitation for legal action against distributors by the FCC.? An example is what happened to US distributors of Baofeng/Anytone/etc products that could do both ham (ARS) radio and business (LMR) use.? After fines resulting from FCC legal action they were successful in getting the product OEMs to change the products they were selling to comply with federal law.? Individual holders of FCC issued ARS (ham) licenses practicing that also risk loss of their licenses. A modified VarAC product that eliminates ham band support may be okay to bundle with encryption for LMR or marine band use, but would also require compliance with other FCC regs for LMR which includes inability for the end user to change configuration or use frequency channels that are not assigned to the user org for their unique license by the FCC. Something to keep in mind for USA.? Stephen W9SK On June 10, 2023 10:57:42 AM "W8NSI James" <w8nsi@...> wrote:
