Do these radios have an FCC Certification Number on the label on the back side of the radio? If it does, what is it.

I am Not sure and I have not looked at the present time. there is no real reason why I should look for AFC C label if you are looking to start trouble you may want to think otherwise there are plenty of radio operators who have these radios and are not concerned with that requirement. so at this time I am declining to answer your question you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment to find outFWD spac

Hi Dennis, I looked at mine and there is no FCC Certification Number on the unit. To double check, I slid the battery off the back where the manufacturers labels actually reside; same thing, no FCC cert number. For what it's worth, when mine arrived from China, the customs form said the contents of the package was a 'toy'. OK, I guess one could call it that. For the price, it still seems like a good deal to me even after owning the unit for almost 6-months. Hope this helps.

fcc.gov you will find the paperwork there, but just ignore the license, i've never had an issue with fam or friends getting in trouble for not obtaining one in my 30 yrs using vhf or uhf radios

The radios are new and in original packaging. Not sure what is meant by "sertificates." If you are asking about certificates, it is still unclear what you are asking. There are no certificates applicable. If you are asking about an FCC license for GMRS frequencies, the answer is no. You must separately apply with the Federal Communications Commission and pay a licensing fee of around $90. You cannot legally operate these radios on the GMRS frequencies until you have received a license and call sign from the FCC.

These are two-way radios and do not need to be programmed. You do not need a license to use these in the U.S.

You're talking about a Ham Radio license. These should be legal to operate without anything like that. As far as I know you only need a license from the FCC if you're transmitting more than 50 miles, and I would be shocked if these broke 10 miles. (I don't own them yet, but I plan on purchasing and operating them without a license)

"Commercial" is somewhat of a marketing term, much like "professional". In this case, though, it means that the radio can be programmed for the "Business Band" frequencies. It's often forgotten that these Chinese hand-held radios were developed and subsidised to be commercial radios -- not ham radios. With the forced conversion to narrow-band, there was a huge opportunity to sell new public-service and business radios to the U.S. market. Unfortunately for the Chinese, the FCC has dragged its feet on approving most of these radios for "Part 90", while quickly approving the traditional Japanese manufacturer's products. That left ham radio as a potential market, as well as those who really don't care about FCC approval. Much hysteria has developed with crazy fear-mongering over radio police swooping in and jailing people for using non-approved radios. Yeah, sure. These radios don't cause any problems if used responsibly, which is the same that can be said for an "approved" radio. Don't use the "scrambler" and don't transmit on a frequency that you aren't licensed to use. And don't worry about the "radio police", because they can't tell by listening if your radio is a Wouxun or a Yaesu, and they really only respond (very slowly) to documented complaints. Oh, and you won't go to jail, either.

The people who have told you "Yes" are operating illegally. While FRS is license-free, you cannot legally operate these radios on FRS (or GMRS). It has to do with technicalities in the FCC rules, so while you can program the radios to work on these frequencies, doing so does violate those rules.

My radio's firmware is BFB 293. to my knowledge it is the latest firmware, although as with any firmware, there may be a newer one out or on it's way. Kelley

I don't know, I sent mine back because the radio function didn't work. I didn't re-order.

Technically yes....but these radios are not FCC certified for use on the Maritime service. The only legal way to use them is to have a Ham radio license and to use them on Ham frequencies.

They are total independent from original radio, they are not a name brand but they are high quality. This is the second set we have and the have pass the test. Enjoy

Not sure. Wonder if you need to do a factory reset? Serial number for radio will still be registered with your Grace Digital radio account even after the factory reset.

These radios are primarily meant to be used on the 440 mhz amateur band,whick requires a ham radio license. Using it without a license and knowledgeof repeater frequencies could illegally trigger amatuer repeaters.They will tune somewhat above and below the 440mhz band. but you mustinquire the FCC for that legality. the main reason they may not be used without license is they put out either2 or 5 watts which is above the part 19 no license limil.Lee Miller

Turn the radio off. Hold down the Band button, if display shows 103 or 114 it is enhanced model. ( Info from CCrane Co.)

This is a complicated question. These walkie talkies can operate on FRS and GMRS frequencies. Normally, it is alright to operate on FRS frequencies without a license. However, these walkie talkies do not meet the standard for operating on FRS without a license. FRS walkie talkies are supposed to operate with no more than 500 milliwatts of power and have a permanently attached antenna. The antennae on these walkie talkies are detachable and they operate with up to 5 watts of power (5000 milliwatts). Therefore, technically you cannot operate these without a license. However, I only operate these on FRS frequencies and I have had no problems. I'll be damned if the FCC ever measures the output power of radios operating on FRS bands. I stay away from GMRS frequencies which absolutely require a license to use. So in conclusion, technically you need a license but if you only stick to FRS frequencies you shouldn't have any trouble.

I just looked at the back of the Wouxun and there is no FCC sticker. I have seen the same one with a FCC sticker sold by Powerwerx.com
