I have 2 TERA 500 radios, they are part 90 cert. They are 16 ch come program with 14 business freq and 2 mers freq. They are dual band. Bought a programming cable, you can program fsr/gmrs (dual use freq) into the radio, It will only let you program the max wattage fcc permits on the freq you enter ( Mers 2 watts) you can program any ham freq (VHF or UHF) with no limitations, on all other freq the bandwidth and power are only adjustable if the freq you enter allows it by FCC rule. Need a laptop to program, but programs can be saved and just dropped in the radio. They make a 200 ch ver of this radio as well. Part 90 prohibits front panel programming. These radios have very good audio and are simple to use. I use them when working with non hams with fsr or gmrs radios

Thanks! That explains it. So part 90 is ok for HAM use but one must have part 95 for GMRS.

Then, I received a link from another HAM :http://www.gordonwestradioschool.com/attachments/FCC_Part_90_Certification_Baofeng_UV5R.pdf It seems that the little Beofeng IS certified. Is this something that is not commonly known? Am I missing something here? Please explain. Inquiring minds want to know. --... ...-- Philip W2OZB _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Message delivered to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
