Anyone have any feedback on RadioActive out of Az. ?

Is he blowing smoke or is his **** the real deal ?


Well, he's selling a bunch of amps which are "illegal for use on 11
meters" but which appear to be _capable_ of being used on 11 meters
(and are pretty clearly _intended_ to be used in that fashion).

He's also selling "export radios".

Doesn't look at all legal to me. The FCC frowns on (forbids) the sale
of linear amps capable of 11-meter operation, even if they are
described as "export-only" products.

It'll be interesting to see whether this guy manages to avoid the kind
of multi-thousand-dollar fine that the FCC is levying on another
dealer who got caught selling Palomar CB linears (Paladen
Communications, last October).

Now, whether Radioactive Radios is describing the stuff he is selling
with technical accuracy, I have no idea.

boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!


The feds busted a couple companies recently for selling Export radios and
such. I hope he has a nice big piggy bank full of money for the long haul.
Sooner or later, he will go down and when he does, it's going to cost him.
Will they never learn?
