Default FS/FT HF / UHF and need help "id"ing equipment

I have a pair of UHF HT's, 400 to 512 MHz. They are like the Puxing
777's but under a different name. These are LEGAL ONLY IN THE HAM
BAND IN THE US. They come with raipd chargers, good batteries, and
instruction manual. Asking $80 for the pair.

ICOM - 735 HF rig. I got this a year or so ago thinking I would be
moving where I could put up an
antenna. The receive is good, but I have not tried the transmit.
Good physical condition including
the little plastic "door". Power cord and touch-tone hand mic. Asking
$200.

Old Test equipment. I have no idea what they are, other than watt
meters. They were given to me by someone who found them in a
basement. RF? DC? I don't know. Date on both is 1959 and
they are in nice condition. The leather handle on one is missing.
Pictures are on my web page.
If you know what they are, let me know. If anyone wants to trade for
or purchase them, make me an
offer.

Thanks,

Interesting. A certain major brand is made in China, and certain parts that
are easily copied certainly will be. I doubt they are the same inside.
Here is a little blurb.

and photos and specs http://www.uk2way.com/tk-338.htm
Perhaps only legal for use by licensed hams, only in the ham bands, but good
thing you aren't a dealer.
Even then I would hope that someone would make sure they are clean enough
for the ham band before putting them on the air. Interestingly, the
instruction manual is on mods.dk

Honda found out about that when certain generators and small engines they
were having made in China, were knocked off and flooded the market.

I have done service on them. Nice, full-featured radio.

Too bad. Stealth antenna work, but where are the sunspots?

Decent pix. The labels say it all. Laboratory Power line wattmeters. Kind
of cool but I'm kind of strapped right now.

IF THESE ARE ILLEGAL, THEN THEY ARE NO LONGER FOR SALE. They were
bought
at a hamfest from a dealer who was telling everyone that they are
legal in the amateur band.
I have no intention of making any kind of illegal sales. Thanks.

Thanks,
Jim,


IF THESE RADIOS ARE ILLEGAL THEN THEY ARE NO LONGER FOR SALE. They
were bought at a hamfest
and the dealer told everyone that they are ok in the amateur band. I
have no intention of selling anything
illegal. Thanks.

I don't mean to blow the whistle, but they actually go looking for stuff
like that on the Internet. Probably not a problem between two hams that
don't go out of band, but put it out on the Internet, and no telling who
will find it.

Stay safe, OM

JB, I don't know who "they" are. If you're referring to the FCC, I'm
sure they would go after dealers but
I have serious doubts they have the resources to go after an
individual who accidentally posted a radio for sale that
isn't type accepted. I did a QRZ search on the reviews for Puxing
radios and 10 of the 21 reviews
were posted by US hams with displayed call letters. I suppose we
should all expect a visit by
federal agents now.

These radios are NO LONGER FOR SALE. I'm sorry I ever posted them in
the first place. This has
opened a hornet's nest of e-mail from mostly hams who either are
threatening to report me to the
FCC or are telling me that the radios are fine for amateur use. I
won't sell them and I won't use
them. In fact, I'm considering taking a hammer to them and posting a
picture of the remains on my
web page. Can we please let this drop now?

I'm sorry if it embarrasses you, but exploitation of part 97 loopholes, has
resulted in greater tightening of part 97 rules.

As illustrated in the FCC doc and from experience, there is no law
prohibiting the act of a licensed ham transmitting from a transmitter on the
ham bands as long as it meets the emission standards in part 97. Put your
own serial number on it and call it your ham radio.

The problem is with offering for sale, a transmitter "capable of
transmitting from 400-500 mhz at 4 watts" without a FCC ID plate for that
range.

I know of a ham dealer who avoids all problems by requiring a callsign prior
to sale. If there are discussions regarding "mods", discussion and
transaction is terminated. If there is discussion of "mods" after the sale,
they are referred elsewhere unless they have some NTIA approved reason for
it. There is new NTIA policy to close that loophole also. All of these
abuses are resulting in the targetting of ham regulations to close up
loopholes.

This is a gotcha when buying import radios. None of the radios can be
legally sold here unless they have FCC approval, unless they flat don't
transmit. Consumers and Commercial people who buy stuff that can't pass the
tests are completely screwed with no recourse or remedy except to rat out
the US dealer.
