Also radios have to be certified under FCC Part 95. UV-5R isn't on the list, and FCC is planning on banning the import of any radio capable of being used on a frequency that the unit is not licensed for. That is if it isn't an amateur radio, in the future any radio imported will only be able to be used on amateur radio frequencies.</div><div class="ydp13dc0649yiv2781781992gmail_default" style="font-size:large;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="ydp13dc0649yiv2781781992gmail_default" style="font-size:large;">Also in the near future, radios will not be legally allowed to be manufactured, imported , or sold that can be used on BOTH GMRS and FRS.
