Recently here in Oz, there have been a number of
Chinese radios use by Marine Rescue people, confiscated by ACMA
officers claiming interference potential and the usual BS. ACMA
in Oz is similar to FCC in the US.
I notice my Wouxun complies with FCC part 15 but cannot
find a similar statement in the Baofeng manual.
I believe as amateurs (full calls) we are allowed to build
our own gear so I assume we, the licensed operator, are
responsible for complying with licensing requirements and are
not limited to commercial, type approved, expensive equipment.
I would assume Australian laws would be similar to US laws
in this respect.
How would this issue affect non Ham users, i.e. CB,
Commercial, Civil Defence, Volunteer Fire & Rescue
organisations etc?
