Odd New commercial dual band portable radio?

[gewecke]

I bougth one of these radios when they first came out and that was the mid 1980's. Nice radio but limited.

Yeah kev you're right they are limited for ham use if you set them up for such,but they pretty much have to have limited features for public safety users. The last thing you want is a firefighter or cop to have a d-uh moment in a crisis situation. Things like tone search and a full featured display aren't really needed.

Dave - perhaps i missed something but can you elaborate on this?

Importing/selling non-type accepted radios.

Fines start in the 10k$ range per radio and go up from there, including confiscation of the equipment.

I am aware of the penalties but thats not the answer to my question.

Dave mentioned a "radio shop in NJ" and that is what I was enquiring about.

Holtzberg is a local radio vendor, in New Jersey,he sells anything and everything for 2-way, cell and the like. By the sounds of it, not one of his smartest moments, if the radio is a advertised.

OK - I wasn't paying attention and missed that part - thanks.

I believe that the proper FCC Equipment Authorization Code is Q9FDB-ANDY,

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
Enter Q9F in the Grantee Code field, Then find the 10 records and click on the Detail for Q9FDB-ANDY, then click on Cover Letter and you will find the Original FCC ID of XBPTG-UV.

Then search for XBPTG-UV to find that the original applicant is Fujian Nanan Quansheng Electronics Co., Ltd., No 82, Qiuzhong Industry Area Xiamei Town, Nanan City, and it was approved on 07/14/2009.

Click on Details and then read the Justification Letter, apparently Holzberg Communications - Suppliers of Two-Way Radios and Communications Accessories is marketing their radio as transmitting on 136-174 & 420-490 MHz to satify the FCC.

I am trying to find some other sourses for the TG-UV now.

Looking at the correspondence with the other applications, it appears the FCC isn't too receptive to his applications. They dismissed a request for type 90 acceptance of a part 80 radio. Given the time frames, I'd expect to see this radio go down the same path within a few months. Why he's selling them with only an application for type acceptance in place, and no grant is a mystery to me, but I guess some people will do anything for a buck.

That is NOT a motorola or kenwood radio, it looks exactly like my puxing px 777.
