More Chinese-made ham radio gear on its way

The sales success of the low priced Wouxon dual band hand held transceivers has aparenty not been lost on the well established ham radio retail trade.
This with the announcement by the five member buying group Ham Pros will be selling both the Wouxon and other made-in-China ham radio gear under the banner of nowchinadirect dot com.

In addition to the Wouxon HT, other gear in their full page ad in the November QST Magazine include several metered power supplies, a pair of SWR and power meters and two hand held transceivers from TYT. These are the TH-F5 single bander that covers 2 meters and the UV-F1 that covers both 2 meters and 70 centimeters.

The ad notes that all of the H-T’s carry Part 90 FCC certification. According to ARRL Counsel Christopher Imlay, W3KD, writing elsewhere in the same issue of QST, Wouxon and presumably other mainland China manufacturers who have obtained Part 90 certification for their equipment can legally sell these units to hams. Also that hams can use them as long as they are operated strictly in the ham radio bands.

Imlay also notes that Wouxon U.S. has chosen to limit the range in which their HT’s can transmit to the ham radio bands. He says that this is akin to good fences making for good neighbors.

You can read the entire text of Attorney Imlay’s regulatory interpretation along with a full review of the Wouxon dual band HT beginning on Page 52 of the November issue of QST.
