In the USA legally there isn't such thing as a transceiver made for amateur radio. Unlike FRS, CB, GRMS, and all other uses there is no equipment certification by the FCC. Instead its the responsibility of the licensed amateur radio operators to ensure their equipment and usage is in accordance to the FCC rules and regulations.?
The ability to use anything you want, within the rules and regulations of the FCC, is the whole point of having amateur radio.?
So why are we having this discussion guys? What's your complaint? If its because you have to think when operating your transceiver? Is it because you feel the FCC rules and regulations aren't enforced enough? Either way none of that has to do with Palstar and is way off topic here.
