really? which ones have you read anything bad about? Ive only followed wouxons up until now and they have FCC numbers and great track records. In fact they now produce radios with part 90 stamps to broadcast on business bands.

i like the sound of these surplus radios. Can they be typically be opened up to talk on ham freqs? If not then I dont see them being that much more handy then a tweaked emergency radio

dont you have the winsystem in Sacramento? that the most epic 70cm system in the country
