Hand held radios

Nothing like a writer who promotes illegal use of frequencies using a cheap Chinese radio. My experience with these kind of articles is that the writer does as little research as possible to make the article sound like they know what they are talking about, not only in radio, but other subjects. There was a vendor at Dayton this year promoting the same practice, and I know the Hamvention official I spoke to was concerned. Selling the radio is not illegal, but using it in the way suggested is.

Where was that promoted in the article?

The only promotion of cheap Chinese radios were from a ham in the comment section to use legally.

I read the article, and could not find any instance where the writer promoted "illegal use of frequencies using a cheap Chinese radio"

Can you provide a reference point in this particular article where the writer says to do this?

Not sure if you even clicked the link and read the article. I didn't find anything you are placing a claim to the writer's ability, any reference to illegal use, nor promoting anything made in China.

From reading your statements, it seems you have an axe to grind against the writer, the website itself or websites like it.

Read the article twice. Radios for GMRS must be type accepted, and I have yet to see any of the cheap ones that meet that requirement. Several do not have any FCC certification for any service. I was just involved in a case where a local church tried it as a replacement for their FRS radios.They now have a separate business frequency, but the radios still are not FCC type accepted for any use.

You are reading too much into the article. The writer even states, "Requires a license to transmit on GMRS frequencies."

None of the other radio types compared were discussed as being type accepted either. It was a general article like most on the web. The writer didn't tell anyone to buy non-type accepted radios. Only stated that, "sold in pairs at the store or online for under $100."
