Hi Howard,
Since this product is sold in the US, I would think it is type accepted by
the FCC. At least the little piece of paper that I got with it that fell
out on the floor and except for my wife seeing it and reading it, I wouldn't
have known, says so. Properly run with that telescoping antenna--which I
run most of the way collapsed, I would doubt it would be heard any more than
a few houses. And on one watt, the thing doesn't even get warm--let alone
hot.
I was only joking about running it on high power with a roof mount antenna.

It seems that we "Hams" shouldn't jeopardize our license by operating
illegal transmitters. We of all people should know better!
