Actually, the Stryker may fall within the definition of "easy to modify" which might be trouble should the FCC decide to go after sellers of those units. Haven't looked at one in a few years, so I don't know if the design has changed.

I wonder if CJ will ever understand it - at this point.
Shioda: Is there anywhere online that has any docs you filed over that eBay case? I'd like to read them. My bro is a lawyer and I'd like to discuss it with him. Might be interesting to post it here too.

The way I understand it, it would
"not require the use of tools such as soldering iron, removing or adding parts or wires"
Is that correct?

Unfortunately eBay insisted on a confidential agreement. We are only allowed to disclose that eBay will not remove ads for unmodified Ranger radios in the future.

The court held the FCC to its definition in the public notice. It is easy to modify if you can just cut a wire, throw a switch, or move a jumper.
Most of the Ham radios that I am aware of only require the removal a single diode.
That is pretty easy - too.
Just make sure when you get that Yacht, you use a Type accepted Marine VHF or HF radio LOL
Pretty much every mod is easy if you know what you are doing and can follow directions, and the same mod is hard if you don't know what you are doing or can't follow directions. That is why the "easy to modify" rules are too vague in my opinion.
Agreed . . . Its ambiguity makes it an opportunity for the prosecution and a loophole for the defense . . .

Who, me???
PMSL, with the amount of idiots out there spewing out ill informed shit all over the place, i'm sure you'll soon be the proud owner of the QE2 mate, with the added bonus that you'll be able to sail into international waters and be able to use one of those non easily (pmsl) modifiable hf sets from the big 3 on 27.555 legally, which if they are honest is exactly what many of those sets were aimed at,especially the lower end ones.
what kills me is most of the so called hf sets are a lot easier to modify than any cb/export radio not just for 11m but also for 45m where many of them are used knowingly by the makers, a point the hoity toity type of ham is only to keen to forget when trying to slag off cb manufacturers, no doubt because if yaesu/kenwood and icom were stopped from marketing these radios those very same amsateurs would be fucked because they are too retarded to build their own equipment.

very much so Jeff, And the ft7b which was easy to modify for 11 and 45m with a crystal change back in the days when an export cb with more than 120 ch was as rare as accurate information on forums.
theres a bit of the history in this link of how yaesu musen became a household name after the owner of sommerkamp showed them how to fit 11m crystals,
History on AR-3300 and AR-3500 plus 10 Meter Evolution.
didn't take long after that for people to realise fitting 45m on the 40m band setting was easy too. but it does show how long at least one of the big three was deliberately making radios capable of 11/45m use, an art they have refined in modern transceivers to where only clipping a diode or similar is required.
Ah.. ok.. thanks for the clarification. We really need to get together and do a REAL writeup on Part 15. Where I'm going with this though is WAY off topic with 10 meter and CB radios.
