Actually, the FCC's position is that transmitters below 30 mhz do not need Part 15 compliance, but if the transceiver's receiver uses a microprocessor, that part of the circuitry must comply with Part 15.

It is a fantastic radio with almost no noise from my Ranger pickup. The first production will be 100 watt I believe. Second version will be SSB and probably 4 watts. I think the first model will be here around Christmas.

All the Galaxy radios are legal to sell if they are sold as manufactured. According to the FCC, any radio modified to work on CB, including ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu, are illegal to sell, even to licensed Amateurs. People who post that Galaxy radios are illegal may end up with a slander lawsuit...

Scare tactics. I doubt the FCC believes it can collect anything even if a NAL is issued later.

I like the radio, but I like the new mobile with the 123 board more. Think 8 track cartidge size for those with little spare room for a radio in their vehicle. No engine noise from my Ford Ranger, either.

As some of you know, the FCC has asked for comments on proposed changes to the CB rules, as well as other rules related to other Part 95 radios. Ranger has commented and asked the FCC to raise the power limits and to allow for inaudible short digital transmissions. It also has a new 123 board...

This list was not prepared by the FCC.

Have not definitely heard from Ranger that it is or is not their radio and Ranger does have a programmable radio designed for Europe, but this radio does not look like the pictures I have seen of that radio. As said, from what I see in the pictures there are some things on that radio which are...

Not a Ranger, but has copied some things they cannot sell here, so if it is sold there is going to be a lawsuit, for sure.

No settlement without a policy change. I would expect, but have not been told, that their lawyer told them to change policy. That is why I asked that anyone whose ad is pulled since Thursday to report it here.

Got a call from eBay's lawyer yesterday and they want to settle. If anyone has a Ranger radio pulled going forward, let me know.

You would probably be the first to call a lawyer when the FCC fines you, too

Can't hurt. :laugh:

Would appreciate receiving any email from eBay stating Ranger radios are illegal. Need as much evidence as possible.

eBay was contacted by Gary Hendrickson from the FCC around 2001 and he told them to pull all 10 meter radios and amps. Where he thought he had the authority to do that, I have no idea as he was not in enforcement. Anyway, since that date eBay has been pulling the equipment if there is a...

If its not made by Ranger, someone's getting sued

Based on RCI 2970DX, Galaxy certified CBs and Connex 3300HP

As I mentioned before, the problem with your post is you are assuming that the Galaxy, Connex and Ranger radios are illegal. They are not. Thus, there is no double standard.

This is not correct, according to the FCC. I think I posted a deposition transcript before regarding this. The FCC's position is that if any amateur radio is modified, the person modifying it becomes a "manufacturer" and is responsible for getting the radio certified before selling it, if the...

Absolutely false. Modify an ICOM to open it up and try to sell it. The FCC claims that radio is illegal after modification and cannot be sold, whether it has a vfo or not.
