Not all countries have Part 90.. Or GMRS or FRS However.. It would be a simple matter for the manufacturer to make two ROM chips.. one limits the transmiter to the US ham bands (or to the Extended ham bands (MARS/CAP) and the other does not. If they did that it would work like my other radios..I can receive NOAA wather, GMRS,,FRS and more..BUT THEY WILL NOT TRANSMIT on those frequencies. But with these they are full coverage.. Both TRANSMIT and RECEIVE Of course, it works both ways. Anyone can buy those things, so when they find an empty frequency, "why not use it?". ANd then that empty frequency turns out to be a ham band. I don't know what the intent of these things are. Are they just cheap ham walkie talkies, or is the major market elsewhere? If they start making differnet versions, that will raise the cost. There already are many different versions. Mr Heinz hardly has a look-in. -- Ian |
