WRKG321 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I noticed that the FCC regulations for GMRS under Digital Transitions state that "The antenna must be a non-removable integral part of the GMRS unit." Since the Btech GMRS Pro is capable of location signaling and short messages and has a detachable antenna. Doesn't this make them illegal? I hope I am reading this wrong because these are popular radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 "illegal"? No.. Not complaint with FCCs regulations? Maybe.. But, the FCCs certified the radio sooooo.. Does the FCCs care? According to the FCCs' lack of enforcement, No Do any normal people care? No Sshannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808Beachbum Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I had to look through several sites, most say nothing at all about the antenna or optional antennas, but found this directly on the Baofengtech site: Q: Is the antenna removable? A: Certification requires the stock antenna to be an integral part of the radio. The GMRS-PRO antenna is permanently glued in place and tampering with the antenna will void the radio’s warranty. What made you think it WAS removable? I have no plans to purchase one, so no first hand experience with that model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably watched someone on Youtube remove one..Thusly voiding the warranty. GreggInFL, wyland316, marcspaz and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
