I'm surprised Universal Radio is offering that radio for sale since doing so is illegal in the United States. The FCC has cracked down on truck stops all over the country for selling similar rigs.

What am I missing? Why is it illegal? Is it on the "list"?
HRO has them also. for $20.00 less.

I have the feeling that this radio is locked up so you can't 'eff with it easily. However, Boris and Natasha may be able to set you up with the Alinco rig of your 11 meter dreams.

FCC has categorized so-called "dual use" equipment (channelized, with a sequence equal to the mapping of the Class D Citizen's Band service) as illegal for sale in the U.S. The Alinco hasn't made it onto their radar, or onto 11M yet. But give it time.

I have a feeling that doing so is still possible and was an intended design aspect. There is absolutely no reason to "channelize" an amateur rig unless it's meant solely for use in FM simplex or repeater operation. Which this product apparently isn't.

Seen it, got a laugh from it.

And I remember when people complained about the Ranger 10/12 meter rigs...at least they made a six meter version of it :mrgreen:

[KG4NEL]

But Alinco...reputed?

:scared:

[PA5COR]

Band 1: 28.000~29.700 МГц
Band 2: 25.615~28.305 МГц

Look at the fine print.
Will sell like gangbusters in the Russia for the illegal operating taxi cabs there found all ober 10 meters...

[W2NAP]

when do they make a 2 meter version with echo and roger beeps :v

[W3WN]

But Alinco...reputed?

:scared:Well, they used to be. After seeing this little offering, let's just say I have my doubts about the current importer.

And I'd betcha that many of the dealers didn't read the fine print, they just saw this as a 25 W 10 meter rig.

Same radio as the CRE 8900, Alinco just re-badged it.
All you do is get the software and programming cable......
It's a frigging cb.

Is easy comrade, but first we get formula from moose and squirrel.
