It may be possible that selling to a government agency is not the same as seilling at retail to ordinary people. After all, that's why they call those radios "export" in the first place. I think everyone agrees that the rule means that no indivicual sales at retail comes under the "sale"...

CWM NTIA rules do not "trump" FCC rules nor vice-versa. They're different jurisdictions that arise. FCC rules have no relavence to NTIA rules and vice-versa. Niether is in any control over the other. Niether is "better" than the other and neither outranks the other nor contradicts the other...

I did a search with Google today under the heading of NTIA juridiction and went half-blind reading through the first 2 pages of results. I have some impresssions of what I read. I cannot give you any links cuz I'm too stupid to know how to do this and some of them have real long addresses...

Apparently, federal agencies do not come under jurisdiction of each other. It appears to be that that is status-quo. I have been looking for any sort of situation where this is written down and have not found it yet. But I HAVE found indications that federal agencies are not under any other...

It's a wonder how some of these people even get electred, let alone stay in office.

It's none of your busienss.

So where did I write anything regarding Bush? Hmmm???? I don't believe I've written anything pro or con regarding the man and whatever he's done or not done on this forum. Anyone who does not buy into your beliefs is a traitor, huh? My political beliefs, such as they are, are none of your...

So now the paranoids wil havve to find something else to get upset with. 73

Well, no real surpise here. I took some chemical dependency courses and worked in an addictions clinic as a counselor. In talking with other counselors and reading what researchers were saying, I did think people addicted to drugs and alcohol lacked something or had too much of something in...

I'm gonna check, but I don't think one Federal agency of any type had any jurisdiction over another. And Homeland Security has FEMA. Which gives it a little more punch than the FCC has, which is under Commerce Department. And, if needed, FEMA could certainly occupy any frequency it needs...

There is some hobby "lowfer" activity down in that apectrum and hams are known to do this sort of stuff but its not ham band. Do a google search on vlf and see what comes up. I'm not able to give any more info than that. 73

Depends on your license class. Are you a coded Tech or a General?

I still wamt one of those Yahoo 9000DX things with the map on the front. Except that the suckers are very heavy and bigger than my operating desk. 73

I imagine that the huge lots of radios being imported are getting around inspections somehow. They may be mislabled, or there are fake bills of lading, or just disquised as something legal. And it p*sses me off to no end that the deliberate importationan and sale of these thing is allowed to...

Only reason why CB use isn't recognized by anyone in an emergency is due to there being no national voice to distribute this info. 600,000 hams listed in the FCC computer, half of whom are dead or inactive versus millions of cass with CBs in them and nobody knows what the CNers do. But some dude...

Do a Gogole search on citizen's band radio there are a number of sources defining CB. The history articles I read all said CB is intended for "short range" communication. This would explain the distamce rule as well as the low power, low antenna rules which do keep it local when the band isn't...

The ITU regulation regarding CW deals with only amateur radio. It does not go in any other radio service. Yes ITU used to require that international amateur comms required the passing of a code test for amateur licenses using HF. Since ITU says Morse is no longer a requirement for amateur radio...

I don't remember it that way, but if that is so, then i'm wrong.

Why ask me? I didn't write the rule. I don't use CB. If there is a rule limiting distant communications, it obviously mean the FCC does not want CB stations working DX. For whatever reason it is on the books, it is on the books and the expectation is that it should be followed. If you don't...

No. Amateur radio was shut dow completely during WWII.There were security issues, true, but there was no limit on distance set when ham radio was allowed to restart.. Things were completely shut dow and many hams were recurited or hired by the military to teach radio operators. That's one of ham...
