Here's a question I've not been sure about: If a radio isn't Part 15
registered, is it even legal for ham use? If we build our own or
heavily modify, that's one thing, but I think if it's a commercial
product, it still has to meet FCC Part 15 doesn't it?

Something to keep in mind, is that the GP68 [and their chinese
clones] are not legal to use on anything other than ham in the US.
And, because it's also illegal to import them, they may be seized by
Customs, with no recourse.
