How can this be? Amplifier for sale
Ebay doesn't care.
They have won in court against illegal knockoffs and counterfeit items and is only recently banning ivory due to political pressure, not legalities. Anyways, why do you care? I know a tonne of DIY'ers capable of making these that would exceed FCC and UL spec and they never had a ham license. The "Old Boy's Club" is gone, sorry. Cheers! |

Ebay does take illegal linears more seriously than most things, but it's true that if a person is a big seller that makes a lot of money for Ebay they seem willing to look the other way on just about anything. Anyways, why do you care? I know a tonne of DIY'ers capable of making these that would exceed FCC and UL spec and they never had a ham license. Oh, I am sure they would exceed FCC specs... by about 996 watts. The "Old Boy's Club" is gone, sorry. That doesn't mean illegal activity should be condoned, sorry. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

NOTHING,NOTHING...How long will we be able to abuse the system and go un-noticed? If these bootleggers are allowed to mix their Illegal junk in with bonafied ham radio , where is it all headed? look around,You don`t see this.. ,FOR SALE: CB amplifier runs1000 watts on citizens band,no license needed.You do see this..

There is a LARGE difference between (A) caring that CB is being used as a illegal profit center and (B) feeling that I should share some guilt for it. I don't feel any guilt, but I feel a whole lot of shame. I live in a country where truck stops can hang out a big sign saying "Stop In When You're Ready For a Big Radio" and CB shops can set up a continuous tape loop advertising illegal linears on channel 19. This is shameful. Yes, it's true that you and I can do nothing about it, and the FCC is unwilling to do anything about it. And THAT is what is shameful. And the folks that we keep electing into public office don't care. And that is even more shameful. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

When we have laws, the laws need to be enforced lest it send a message that says no laws are important, making matters worse. But it still is not a ham problem. |

It's MUCH worse than just that. --scott And the discount stores selling touch lamps that flagrantly violate Part 15 emission regulations are EVEN WORSE. -- "C'est un Nagra.
