There is some talk about some Chinese radios being part 90 "certified"
but when I look at the FCC site, all I seem to find for most of them is that they are
certified in part 15.121 ??
I have just joined a local CERT group, ( Community Emergency Response Team )
and have been looking at the communications "problems".
I thought it would be nice to have a "portable" repeater for when we are "deployed"
( Their word, not mine), and as the Fire Dept, that we are attached to has a 420 repeater
but has moved to 800 for most of their traffic, we are able to use the 420, but if there is an
emergency we may not be able to use the 420 repeater.
NOW my question about "CCR's" .
Looking at $$$ more then anything, I would possibly like to "build" a medium power repeater,
( 40 watts?) and was thinking about using a couple of Chinese imports but they MUST
be part 90 legal radios.
I have checked into GMRS, but there is no way to do this legally ( although I may "test"
with a low power ( 7 watts) GMRS repeater I own.
Things that need to be considered $$$$ and legality
Are there any LEGAL part 90 Chinese imports as I have most everything else I would need.
I got really confused when I started looking at the FCC site to see what were actually part 90 certified.

Thanks
