BaoFeng Mobile Dual Band 400-520Mhz 136-174Mhz Radio

I found this on Amazon about three weeks ago.  Wondering if anyone knows anything about it, and if it's any good.  Apparently it is a 40 watt radio.

Also wondering if something like this could be used as a base station of sorts....

After spending 15 minutes in research, I was personally unable to determine if this particular radio has ANY FCC certification.

 

Perhaps others here can expand on that issue before we promote this as a GMRS option.

Probably need to find Pofung's guarantee code (though the radio may not be manufactured by Pofung) and search that way.

 

So the catch with the Anytime Tech, Baofeng (now Pofeng) and a few other Chinese radios is that most of them physically aren't capable of the emissions they are certified for.

The ad in the link is not for dual bander. It is UHF only.
