Thats ok. We don't need it anyway. Motorola is nice but now the chinese are
making copies and selling them for 1/10 the price. Good luck ol man. Just

Probably as good as any new Kenwood or Motorola that they are cloned from

and for a small fraction of the name brand price

Kev

Seen a couple of the hand helds so far. The kenwood copies are very good.
The motorola radios are also very good. I noticed Andy posted in vkham that
he didn't like one of them. It had a dtmf tone that was too quite to use in
triggering echolink or irlp nodes via radio. But in general there has been
good reports from a highly qualified tech in a government sector that has
been testing them for some time now.

Thats the problem. They may be clones of well known radios but not type
approved as yet. Lot of hoops to jump through to import in bulk.

If you are talking about use on CB, then it seems a little strange to worry
about type approved sets running at more than 5W! I mean, if they run at
more than 5W it makes little difference if they are type approved or not!!!

OTOH, if they are being used on amateur bands, then they don't need to be
type approved....
