The TR5a does have DFS. I think Damian Wallace's rant goes like this:
We give the radio to a testing lab, and they do FCC testing.
Then they tell us to listen for some sort of signal... and they give
us like eleventy-billion signatures to listen for.
Then they take our radio to a secret room and they make sure that
they shut down when the signatures are presented.
It is a pain in the backside...
Older models of <insert brand here> that were created before DFS was
required, did not have DFS. I have some older radios from <insert up
to 3 vendors here> that do not have DFS.. However, newer models do,
and some manufacturers turn DFS on with a firmware update.
