RW> JG> Greetings, as it looks like I'll be closer to getting licensed for   
   RW> JG> Ham Radio, I was looking at some portable handheld radios.  I found a

   RW> JG> The more I look, the more the BaoFeng Dual Band looks like a better

   RW>The real question is; are these chinese radios FCC type accepted?

   They do not meet FCC standards and the US distributor must reprogram   
   them to meet the FCC standards.
