I have a pair of Cobra FRS radios that do voice inversion, so not just Uniden that manufactured them.
I believe Icom made some too.
If companies are being fined over FRS bubble packs, it should be for the dodgy advertising of transmission distances.

FRS is NOT the issue, it is a GMRS rule.

Didn't the FCC approve the radios first?

Yes, as far as I understand;
They were approved,
then Midland was told they were in violation,
then Midland decided to sell what was in stock,
then Midland was fined.

Appropriately not commenting on issues regarding a competitor I would guess.

Well, this notice is fining Uniden, not Midland.
Of course, it's hardly likely Uniden's lawyers would let UPMan comment publically on legal actions currently active against Uniden...

Oh Sh-t, Brain Fart! (Place big red faced embarrassed emoticon here)
In that case the last post should be: Appropriately not commenting on legal issues regarding his employer, I would guess.

I'm curious why the big M wasn't fined as well since they've marketed several models capable of the same feature? Hmmmm...unless Uniden is the fall guy?

Did they have any they continued to ship after being informed of the issue?
