70 MHz "amateur radio equipment" does not comply with FCC
certification or use regulations.

Anyone bringing such equipment into the US (through Customs) must
prove that it complies by filing an FCC Form 740. Even if the Customs
does not catch it and it gets carried or shipped in without
examination, it's not in the US legally and is subject to seizure and
forfeiture in accordance with Section 510 of the Act, besides making
one large of a headache for both legitimate users and FCC enforcement.

It's that plain -- I was one of the FCC's experts on seizure and
forfeiture of such equipment before I retired!

I remember your name from the old FIDO net years ago. Thought you may be
the one and would be able to give an answer.

I think that clears it up for me then. If anything is inported to be legal
it must only transmitt in the ham bands if it is for hams ,or in the case of
some of the ones from China they can also transmitt outside the ham bands if
they are certified for the comercial or public service bands they transmit
on.
