    "content": "Although the manual has plenty of claims about FCC acceptance, I consider \nthese things to be \"experiments\", i.e. it's up to me to ensure that they \ncomply with the specifications for an amateur-radio transceiver. In 1992 \nwhen I cut the red and blue wires in my Alinco DJ-580T HT 30 minutes after I \nbought it, the radio was instantly capable of transmitting in all sorts of \nbands. All I wanted was operation on the 435-438 MHz satellite frequencies. \nI never felt any need to transmit on 162.4, etc.\n\nYes there is always the possibility that customs may not want you to have \nthese rigs, but it's not what you have, but what you do with it...\n\nCaveat Emptor...\n\nAndy W5ACM\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Ernie Howard\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Sunday, March 28, 2010 4:28 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: WOUXUN Radio\n\n\n> There was some chatter from the FCC on these WOUXUN units last year.\n> It's like you said, they were user programmable onto non-ham\n> frequencies, and that concerned the FCC.
