The Wouxun KG-UVD1P is a 2m/70cm or 2m/1.25m dual band hand held
radio. It has FCC ID WVTWOUXUN04 for Part 90 use. Look here
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm put WVT
in Grantee Code and WOUXUN04 in the Product Code.

I bought the 2m/1.25cm version from http://wouxun.us/ at Dayton this
year to give me a 222 mHz handheld, it has been working great, including
surviving a 3 foot drop to concrete :) --- it operates 5W on 2m and 4W
on 1.25m. (I prefer dealing with a US distributor vs. an Ebay Hong Kong
dealer.)
Advise getting a programming cable for setup. The software is available
online from several locations, including the Yahoo Group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wouxun_KG-UVD1/files/Software/ including
software to set frequency ranges. (Within limits, you cannot move a
2m/70cm radio to 2m/1.25m for example) -- the programming software
raises a false positive on some virus scanners.
They are not on the Part 95 list (no GMRS, MURS, etc. though they will
program there) same with Part 80 (I have some frequencies programmed to
listen to some channels under both of these parts, but disabled
transmit). They do not do AM, they can receive commercial FM broadcast.
There is a long history of using Part 90 radios on Part 97 frequencies
(Amateur Radio).
Hope this helps clear things up and ends the speculation. The licensee
is responsible for which radios are in use at their station or within
their system (not the radio technician), so your mileage may vary.
Personally, if I was working with a volunteer group and had a Part 90
licensed system, I would offer this as a low cost radio for volunteers.
