What about the last paragraph on the dismissal letter. A caution not to market with the current FCC ID.
Furthermore, the IF the product is granted a new TCB grant, it will have a new FCC ID number, as was stated in the FCC dismissal letter, and the existing FCC ID cannot be re-used again. Of course the sock puppet brigade that has arrived refuse to acknowledge this fact, nor the fact that these and other Chinese radios sold or imported after 1/1/2013 allow for wideband programming (even in their software in "part 90" mode). I won't even address the performance issues, there are some really poor Chinese radios and some really good ones (the Puxing PX-UV973 I had was more on freq than my XTS5000 and put out a super clean carrier) but most of the ones I have owned/used had poor intermod rejection, low/muddy TX audio,frequency error and quirky firmware.
Instead, the sock puppets want to make personal attacks, veiled threats of libel (bring it on), and other non sequiturs about everything from the price of Tea in China.
It's really simple to me. AnyTone Tech/Baofeng Tech made some pretty incredible claims. Claims that consumers in a free market put to the test, and the regulating agency dismissed thus proving those claims false.
If consumers with to believe that paying $139-150 for a $50 ham radio is a great deal, just like
these suckers who pay
several hundred dollars for a 15 year old subpar 2 meter rig, far be it from anyone to separate a fool from his money.
But none of the sock puppet theatrics detract from the
FACTS and legitimate issues many have raised regarding the questionable claims and certifications. Instead, the sock puppets have engaged in a classic
Monty Python "Spam" skit to cloud the real issues. Gotta wonder why any legitimate firm would recruit such sock puppets to barrage a forum rather than just coming forward, and addressing these issues directly without all the ad hominems and mantras about other non-topics or pushing the responsibility for these issues with the product onto testing labs, the FCC, the governor of California, or President Obama.
One thing that will come out of this is the FCC will pay a little closer attention to the issuing of equipment authorization. You can take that to the bank.
