Fake Galaxy Radios.

I see. How is this radio any different than your average Galaxy, Ranger, whatever "10 meter " or "export" radio?

My definition of "export" radios is radios that do not meet FCC regulations, and are imported for purposed of exporting them to a country where the radios are legal. Some countries use different frequencies for CB than the US does. Others require FM for CB. If one imports a radio designed for Europe with the purpose of exporting to Europe, then there is no violation of the law. If one imports the same radio and states on the import forms that no FCC id is required because the radio is imported for export, but then tries to sell the radio in the US, it could be smuggling because a false statement was made on the import forms.

The Ranger 10 meter radios meet FCC requirements. Therefore, they are not "export" radios, at least under my definition.
