FCC fines CB shop for selling unautorized radios
Found the answer to my question researching a "nearly new" Connex 4300HP that was offered for sale on E-bay. In YAHOO search results I found a link that led to an FCC document, prosecution of a CB shop for selling "unauthorized receivers" I have also noticed a lot of E-bayer's out there doing the same thing, trying to pass off 10 meter rigs as CB. Some people see the channel 40 display in the ad and assume it is a CB. I have sent "ask the seller questions" about radios that were being listed on E-bay as CB radios and radios that were listed as "40 channel" radios that I knew were 10 meter rigs and every time I did so I never received replies from the seller

As I was writing this I got my first response from a seller, the name has been omitted
My most recent question was this on an "ENDING SOON" Mirage 88
Is this a 10 meter rig or CB
Serious buyer
Thanks in advance for your response.
There response was
"It's both I guess you would say only the D band Is configured for CB the others are 10 meter. Peeked and tuned and converted. No scratches on case at all everything is like brand new 2 months old. Getting out of the OTR for local job that I don't need this for.
Thanks and good luck.. Hope this helps"
