"Richard Cranium" wrote in message m... (gw) wrote in message . com... "Train" wrote in message ... His sites were bought out by EEI a while back if memory serves me correctly. I still have E-Mail from Pace asking me if I would be interested in selling one of my web sites to him. What a PUTZ! Train 4. Mr. David P. Pace, Jr. d.b.a. Pacetronics / Pace Marketing marketed these devices as amateur transceivers. The Commission has evaluated radiofrequency devices similar to those listed in paragraph 2 and concluded that the devices at issue are not only amateur radios but can easily be altered for use as Citizens Band devices as well I submit that the aforementioned Rule applies equally to every single AMATEUR transceiver ever imported or sold in the United States. They are notoriously simple to wideband; just clip a wire or two, or remove (or add) a diode or two. Therefore, all ham radios are also illegal under FCC Rules and Regulations. NO!! Each service has different rules. Amateur Radio is governed by Part 97; CB is under Part 95. The 'exports' are being marketed as "10 Meter" ham rigs. Because the have "bands" of 'channels', those "bands" cover OTHER than the 40 CB frequencies, and have MORE than the 4 watts allowed for CB, such "export" radios do not meet the requirements for EITHER service. It still is legal for a franchised dealer to import and sell APPROVED trans- ceivers according to the rules of Part 97. Not both. FCC approved radios will have a certification sticker on the back or side of said radios; the exports do not. As for building unalterable radios, it would be terrifically expensive to do that because there are *some* radios that can be certified in other services. A number of Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu radios can be used for *certain* applications. The military has used some of them in the past. Civil Air Patrol and other gov't agencies are able to do so because, again, the rules apply differently to differ-ent Services. I hope it would not come to that (but it could)--making the radios difficult to modify--but we have CBers to thank for the banning of amplifiers for 24-30 MHZ back in 1978. Folks want to flaunt *their* own agenda (and to hell to whomever it hurts) and often cause hardship to innocents. That is kind of what is happening now with the "export" radio thing; folks are bound and determined to break the rules, so something will likely happen that will cause trouble for other CBers and hams alike. Gee, that's all I need to have a $900 ham radio I used to be able able to use with FEMA, USAF/CAP, and SHARES cause me to have to spend $2000 for a special motorola to do the same job. Yeah, thanks!! If people would just stay OUT of the adjacent bands, it wouldn't be an issue, but NOOOOOO, they want theirs and ours TOO!! Ain't gonna happen! Look for of the same dealer busts to increase soon. J couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of ripoff artist if you ask me....... Except maybe Copper Electronics! |
