Jeff,
The original of this rant occurred in the light of a general Baofeng hysteria. It seems however that this is taking a more substantial hold. Word has it that the original UV-5R is no more having been somewhat neutered in response to supposed threatened import restrictions. I haven't received a sample of this to examine myself but I saw it on the interwebz so it must be true...

Regarding the " List" of 10 meter radios.
This tells about the FCC employees that were " confused" by there own rules.


Most of it has disappeared from the internet, but a little bit can be found here.

It's a bit of a read, but informative

You really have some interesting things going on out here in the Garage...

Don't forget to remember - there are some that still look to you for help and advice.

Including me.

Merry Christmas!

Andy,
I'm fresh out of general insanity and specific ignorance concerning the real or surreal expectations of fact, fiction, or opinion.

Let me get through the horrordaze without significant incident and I'll attempt a return to my regularly unscheduled diatribe.

I thought this thread was about the garage......I finally got a little bit done in my garage today. Couple of cabinets hung, some new 2 and 3 gang duplex outlets, tool/battery holders and pegboard. Time for adult refreshments......
