Since these radio’s come from Woot, I wouldn’t worry too much about this, but… If I were buying these from the company directly… :man_shrugging:

FIrst, they are CLEARLY Baofeng knock-offs. Right down to the MODEL NUMBERS!

And NOTHING says “professional” and “trustworthy” like

For those who don’t know,

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”

… is a meaningless, Latin-looking text block used by typesetters for centuries to aid in layout design.

Oh… and their navigational “links” at the bottom of each page, including the “Support” options?

NONE of those are live, active, cliackable links except for the “Download Center.” :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Sheesh seems sketchy. Better just to buy straight up Boafeng or their “legit” knockoff Rugged Radios

I hope you have a valid FCC Amateur Radio License …
You need this before operating any equipment that transmits within the spectrum of this radio

km4jag. No need to tattle to Big Brother.

Just for everyone else, though…

tl;dw: FCC is not coming after you unless you go do stupid shit like interfering with emergency services or generally being an idiot on the air.
