It doesn't matter. More fart gas from the FCC., Just like their "huge fine" against all the mafia telecom cartels selling our data. Nothing but smoke and mirrors form a paper tiger.

There are literally millions of these radios in the hands of consumers. Several years late and dollar short. A big waste of time at this point and more posturing by this joke of a Federal government.

Yeah, but attrition would help clean up the mess because they become inoperative so quickly. Has anyone thought about leaning on "Chirp" to get the CCRs removed?

I could have sworn CHIRP was an abbreviation for "CHinese Radio Programming". It's certainly its primary purpose.

Chirp isn't owned by any corporation, it's open source software and nothing to stop anyone from downloading source code and modifying it. Going after open source software is a bad precedent.
At the end of the day, the onus falls on enforcement agencies to stop allowing products non-compliant from getting here, in this case, US Customs, the FCC and FTC, all of which are a joke and everyone knows it. Sanctioning Amazon and Ebay is like the joke of fining the FCC fine I mentioned against AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile for selling our personal data for years. If the FTC/FCC/whoever were to assess a $500 million dollar fine, to Amazon, that is a drop in the bucket, and like Louis Rossman said about the telecom cartels fine, they'll just pass it onto customers in the form of high prices so what's the point.

Adult supervision in this country ended years ago when agencies like the FCC, FTC, CFPB were all castrated like stray cats. The big bucks that run things make the rules. The FCC really doesn't care unless it affects AT&T, VZW and T-Mo, so unless some Bowelturd starts muddying up one of their LTE/5G NR bands, you can pretty much guarantee nothing will happen to anyone and these turds will continue to come in by the millions.

I think you're right. I was told by one of our vendors that the state dept was cracking down on a number of Chinese video surveillance companies a few years ago and were limiting further imports. Oddly, this would only apply to a selected few provinces and not all surveillance products from China. However, from what I could see, there was never any real world effects. The money train provided an alternate route, I guess.

A mere rearranging of the deck chairs...

Don't forget the commercial FM radio stations whose vital community announcements (aka ads) might be missed from pirate radio station RFI.
The NAB is pushing congress to mandate AM radio in EVs for similar reasons, their mantra is someone could miss an emergency weather alert.
The point is valid but what is stopping congress from requiring NOAA alerting built into the vehicle's radio system?

The NAB is playing last call at the bar. OTA radio, from a corporate conglomerate standpoint, is done. No one is listening. No one cares.
People want streaming in their dashboards powered by endless subscriptions, not iFartRadio or Audacy, and their Bowelturds. No one likes rules. Rules get in the way. WHO CARES if it works or not!

On May 2, 2024, the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau and Office of Engineering and Technology submitted a request for information (RFI) to
nine federal partners on certain measurement facilities (test labs) with apparent ties to the Government of
the People’s Republic of China.

More masturbation on the public dime. So what, the FCC now all of a sudden after two decades, sees the problem with Chinese feces radiating hash and trash, and now they're gonna "DO SOMETHING".

What's that? Issue some more paper "public notices"? Why not print them on rolls of Charmin, as that is what they are worth and people do with them. No real consequence in CONSEQUENCE FREE USA.

If the cartels can bring in fentanyl without much difficulty, they could throw some CCR junk on top of the crates to satisfy that demand.
Personally, I suspect that Beijing has implanted spyware or other malicious programming into the IC chips and I avoid CCRs.

 

[KK4JUG]

Chips?? I hope I get Doritos.
