RW>TW> As usual I could not find the Article btu there was a review of a   
   RW>TW> couple of those chineese Radios by Gordon West i nweither CQ or QST.   
   RW>TW> It mentioned that the radios needed tweeking to be legal i nthe US   
   RW>TW> because of their Out of Banmd Capabilities. Necesary of course   
   RW>TW> becasue they are exported to many countries and the frequencies   
   RW>TW> allowed for Hams can vary between countries.   
   RW>TW> ---   
   RW>I've seen a couple of reviews, one by Gordo on the Wouxons,   
   RW>I think in Popular Communications.   
      
   Maybe that is where I read it. but the point is that a direct form China   
   Radio would be opened up as the Inporting Distributor is supposed to   
   reprogram it to be leagal i nthe country of sale.   
      
   RW>A friend of mine has the Wouxon ht's and he's rather happy   
   RW>with them.  They can be modded to tx out of band, but I   
   RW>understand they have the fcc stuff necessary.  i gather they even talk for u   
   RW>blind users, and have heard some of my   
   RW>blind ham colleagues even sing their praises.   
      
   Dn't get me wrong, the Wouxon HT for it's price is a great radio. While   
   some gripe about Chinese Junk they take quality control nowdays very   
   seriouisly and build some excelent Electronics products.
