Uniden has no copyright on the circuit board design. You can't copyright a function, only the artistic expression or appearance. Also, you cannot sue for copyright infringement unless the copyright is registered. Uniden has never registered any copyright on the PCB layout.

Your assumptions are wrong. Just a guess, but I could see something like this happening. When electronics are imported, the importer has to file a certification with the FCC that the product is either certified or that it doesn't need certification. Amateur radios don't need certification...

Not likely. I could see the FCC charging someone with smuggling for importing products like this though.

Effectiveness of immune system declines in advanced years, so all those over 55 should get free immunity boosts.

Not likely, unless they want to end up in court.

Guy could have beat the fine by simply arguing he was not given a written citation before the Notice of Apparent Liability.

CB shop business was killed by the internet and distributors who agree to drop ship. If you can find a distributor who drop ships, you can open an internet site, post a bunch of pictures of product you don't have in inventory, sell at the distributor's price and add $10 for "shipping and...

Sounds like this guy will sue you, based on your lawyer's search of the court dockets. Hard case to prove, but he could call you as a witness and force you to testify since it is a civil case. Changing your radio back to stock is problematic. Generally, subsequent remedial measures are not...

The FCC issued a public notice about rule changes more than a year ago. They are considering reducing power.

Just got back from Boundary Waters Canoe area (10 days) so a late reply. Don't know what the model number will be, but the board may still use the 123 numbering system. Looks like first version will be 100 watts and second will have SSB. Don't know when the SSB version will be out, since the...

AudioShockWav's post re the regs is basically accurate. Part 95 only governs CB radios. Part 97 governs Amateur radios. Radios that work only on Amateur frequencies, as manufactured, are governed by Part 97. There is nothing in Part 97 that prohibits anyone from modifying their Amateur radio. If...

Those are being distributed by Lesco and Ramko. Might check with them for names of dealers with the product.

Who, me??? :lol:

Pretty much every mod is easy if you know what you are doing and can follow directions, and the same mod is hard if you don't know what you are doing or can't follow directions. That is why the "easy to modify" rules are too vague in my opinion.

The court held the FCC to its definition in the public notice. It is easy to modify if you can just cut a wire, throw a switch, or move a jumper.

Unfortunately eBay insisted on a confidential agreement. We are only allowed to disclose that eBay will not remove ads for unmodified Ranger radios in the future.

Actually, the Stryker may fall within the definition of "easy to modify" which might be trouble should the FCC decide to go after sellers of those units. Haven't looked at one in a few years, so I don't know if the design has changed.

Working on getting a yacht first, then a better radio. :laugh:
