Well that's interesting...

CMII ID 2004FJ0077 Device: FM walkie-talkie Manufactured by Japan KENWOOD CORPORATION (Kenwood)

"A CMIIT ID is the product ID assigned by the China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to identify wireless products in the Chinese market. The CMIIT assigns product identifiers to approved products which must be labeled with the given approval code. The *FM walkie-talkie*, manufactured by Japan KENWOOD CORPORATION (Kenwood), has an Authorization Number of *CMII ID 2004FJ0077* and was approved on 2004-01-17 (valid until 0000-00-00). "

So I wonder if the CMIIT will be willing to retroactively label some Bond Telecom Baofeng-branded radios that slipped past the FCC's purview on their way through Customs into my home country (U.S.)  :@)

Anyway, thanks for that info!  "Learn something new everyday."

No, it has a bar code with the letters/figures SR626U2011010797

Then on the sticker it has SR-626U CMII ID: 2004FJ0077

When I do a search on the CMII ID I get https://fccid.io/CMII-ID-2004FJ0077

I can't find anything for that model on fccid.io. Does it have an FCC ID label?

Good morning,

Anybody got information how to program the Sinorise SR-626U radio?

I have sent e-mails to the manufacturer but no response.

From the look of the pictures and the specs (5W, 16-channel, 400-470MHz coverage, etc.), I can't help but wonder if it's not some kind of Baofeng BF-888 or BF-666 clone (minus the LED).

It's not uncommon for small companies to have private label variants of the Baofeng, as you all know.

With only around 100 employees, I wonder if they are basically a design agency. The pictures of inside their factory suggests that, whatever hardware they produce, might be hand assembled.

Dennis,

I have been approached by the Community Forum in the suburb to help with the radios.

They have seen the Yagis on the tower and know think “this guy must know everything about radios!”

If they want help, they must supply the manual and software or seek help from the supplier of the radio.

Your BTech radios have FCC labels because BTech is a US company, selling products out of California.

The original poster, by virtue of his posted callsigns, was likely not American, and likely not buying radios from American distributors. There is no reason for radio products destined for most of the worlds countries to carry American certification labels.

About time most Americans remembered that they are not the centre of the world.

P.S. Though I am indeed based "out of California", BaoFeng Tech is not:

https://baofengtech.com/contact

We are based in: Arlington, South Dakota, 57212 United States of America

BTW, BTech is a great company to work with and they have always gone the extra mile to work out any issues I've had with Chinese radio hardware.  And as an ODM for Baofeng designs, they are doing their best to deal with all the licensing issues required by importers in the U.S.  Also, they do not sell radios without FCC ID labels, if that's important to you (it is to me as a U.S. citizen and subject to the laws of that country).

IF you are going to spend any money on "Baofeng" radios I strongly recommend to purchase from BTech if possible, regardless of your residency or citizenship.

Please do note that I only asked if the radio had an FCC label. I didn't state that I expect that it should.

I'm simply in the habit of looking things up on FCCID.io as the first step in sleuthing things out, as that's where most hardware-related information seems to be kept at this point in the hobby/industry.  And that's no doing of my own, in spite of me being American and all.  You can blame the FCC for that repository if you like.

Carry on...

I noted the poster's callsigns and went straight to the manufacturer's website.

You are correct sir, there is no need for any other country to have an FCC-ID on their radios. In conjunction with that, any radio without an FCC-ID should not be sold in the USA. End of story.

As you stated below, we in the USA are not the center of the world. We need to remember this, and thank you for the gentle reminder. We have no business where we are not needed or wanted. I would much rather my tax dollars stayed at home to take care of our own homeless and the hungry, especially around Christmas. We need to pull out of NATO (where I once served 8 long years) and drop out of the UN, THEN - use all that cash we would save to take care of our own first.

I totally agree with you sir.
