This is news? I guess it may be to some, but it certainly isn't new
news. JerryO has been posting the information about truckstops getting
fined for the exact same thing over the past several years. In fact,
many outfits have been popped for selling illegal gear,,,,,what makes
this one stand out above the rest?

Not a damn thing. 10m radios are still perfectly legal for amateur use
in the 10m band, and always will be. They have never been legal
for use on CB.

Yawn. Old news. BFD.

From what I read, these were the "dual" ham and CB radios, which never could
be type accepted.

They would never be legal on the CB band, nor type accepted for sale in the
ham bands either.

I believe I stated (above) that these radios have never been legal
for use on CB. However, radios for amateur use do not require type
acceptance. Some of the Ranger units listed are marketed as amateur
radios, in amateur publications. Any use other than that is
(obviously) illegal.

Nothing you build requires type acceptance, but if you are going to sell it
commercially, it must qualify.

Notice the ads for new radios where they state that it hasn't been FCC
approved etc etc.
