What I see is they type accepted a radio that looks like that one but
the type acceptance number issued does not necessarily mean the Ebay
radios are unless they bear the type acceptance label... There are many
models and not all may be approved...
However... in any case.. if you are the importer for your own amateur
radio use... Emissions are your amateur responsibility...ultimately...
as we can "build or modify" whatever we want as long as our emissions
are appropriate...re-selling without any type acceptance would seem to
be questionable.. My hamfest committee thought about giving them out as
hourly prizes... and my caution to them was own use vs distribution are
2 different issues on a non amateur type accepted radio..
If THESE particular one do have part 90 labels.. then using them on
amateur ok and is a moot point.. distribution or otherwise.. but if they
do not have labels.. using for own use would seem to be the limit.. as
selling un-certified radios or even giving them away would seem to be
not legal...
I would be glad to hear if someone has purchased from one of these
dealers and they ARE bearing part 90 labels... then my hamfest committee
would be ok..

Phil,
What FCC identification number did you use to find the Wouxun listing
on the
FCC site? I tried both the name and the model number, but came up with no
listing at all.

Terry,
I wondered the same question about a year ago and discovered that they are
type-accepted. Not that I would allow one on a system that I was in charge
of for PS work. I looked on the FCC website and saw that they were...
There is nothing saying that they can't be used on a HAM system though.
Hope this helps,
Phil KK6PE

portables on eBay, new for about $100, made by Wouxun. I doubt very much
they are FCC type accepted. Is it okay to use these on amateur
frequencies?
Thanks in advance.
