Fun watching someone inventing the wheel again 
If you dig around you'll find that they're applying for the "Thomas FCC" model.

It'll probably look a lot like the EU version of the same name:

What I found interesting is once the FCC approves it, there is a "YES" to a specific clause...
...AND...
So you can purchase...once its available
The link above in the OP - is a "portal" for the FCC Database from the company.
So the above becomes reciprocal...

Don't understand why only 8 memories in the President Thomas radios. There's a lot more combinations of channel/mode/PL tone than 8. Even the Lincoln II+ only has 6 memory channels.

We used FM, allowed or not, when any of the locals got the urge. I'll also say that most of the locals, well basically all of them, had FM on one radio or another, and it never sounded very good for local chit chat despite being FM, also did not work well since guys were spread all over and signals varied greatly. Had it been an amazing sounding mode for everyone, we all would have used it, most had it already, but it just wasn't pleasant with the radios used. Nobody liked using the squelch either, and sometimes guys would hop on the channel with a signal you couldn't see on a meter, but could hear them on AM / SSB, so with the squelch set / FM, you'd never have heard these guys.
Still, I don't know why FM on CB wasn't legal a long time ago. Seems like a mode that would have been good for CB in many instances.
Suppose it will be interesting to see the various radios it gets added to.

Not trying to hijack a thread. But if I may open this can of worms. Will we eventually have gentlemen's designated FM only channels, like we do for SSB. I am guessing we will just hear warble if someone talks on a channel with AM traffic and someone cuts in with FM. Then again I may not be understanding this correctly. All opinions welcome.
CB should have gone the way it was originally planned on 462mhz (now GMRS)FM.
