Radio Registration (Nazi style Radio Registration is here?? Will the ARRL support it ??)
In article , Dean Arthur wrote:
And just HOW would seller verify info before buyer left store? I live in Israel. In order to buy anything that transmits, you have to get a license from the Ministry of Communication. Amateur radios are NOT excempt, you have to call a nice lady named Miriam and she sends you a permit, and adds it to your license. Not only is the permit necessary, but the tax on electronics is 62% (used to be 125%), while the tax on ham radio gear is 18%. I know a medical doctor doing research in the effect of RF on heart patients who ordered an MFJ tuner from the states for $100 plus shipping. When he finaly got out of customs the lab had paid $325 for it. (125% tax on the unit and shipping plus customs fees) Just imagine if everytime you wanted to buy a radio you had to get a permit from the FCC. IMHO STAY AWAY FROM IT. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Do Israelis need to have pre-authorization for home brewed transmitters, also? I assume so ...?? Paul AB0SI |
