Comment on Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive
hertz_so_good@lemmy.radio 17 hours agoI also dug into a different Baofeng rabbit hole and I followed the UV-5G GMRS certifications. It’s currently being sold under FCC ID 2AN62-UV5G from a Delaware corporation called SAIN3, but it turns out they inherited the Part 95E certification from Po Fung as attested in that filing. Po Fung had previously gotten it certified as 2AJGM-P51UV, and they did indeed perform proper GMRS emissions testing on it.
Thanks for helping me understand that ham radios scanning receivers are really quite different in the FCC’s eyes. I don’t fully get it, but at least I no longer think Po Fung is doing anything especially underhanded.

This is reminicent of the 510k system for medical device clearance for medical devices. Using some other precursor tech to same I am similar in function to this so I don’t and you don’t have to test it.
