The Galaxy DX2547 is a type certified CB Radio, so what is wrong with listing it?

Really? What is it's certification number?
1) I think every "DX" radio they make is an export radio
2) This (http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-253693A1.html) is just one of the many FCC citations explicitly listing that particular radio as illegal for sale in the US.
3) Before you start saying "Nuh uh, hams can sell it, individuals can sell it!", go find anything in the code that exempts us on anything except amplifiers. We can homebrew stuff, but we can't buy stuff that is illegal to be sold to other people (except perhaps amplifiers, like I said). And there's no 'individual sale' exemption anywhere in the code.

Old Man, not every DX model is An "export" there are several Type Accepted models built by That company.
The 2547 is NOT on the list you posted, there are many that are, but the 2547 is not.
I never said there was anything in the code that exempts us on anything, don`t go putting words in my post.
I get a real kick out of guys that have nothing to do all day but search the internet looking for sales of "export" radios, I bet you spend a lot of time searching e-bay right?
LOL
Try spending some of that time on the Air, you might find it more enjoyable. And rewarding.
The man is just trying to sell a simple CB radio.

Nothing wrong with looking for something to buy on E-bay.
I have run across guys that just live to get on E-Bay and play internet police. I have had a Legit 10 Meter Radio (Hr2510) pulled from E-bay because it fell on the List.
I purchased the radio from AES, brand new.
Catch 22?
Are you expected to burn all of your old ten meter stuff if you do not use it anymore?
Anyway, I guess I just got a little hot under the collar......

Dunno... Maybe that's a good question for the FCC directly? Remember, it's the FCC that has decided that these radios are illegal for sale. I don't understand the mentality of getting mad at the person who points out that they're illegal. Messenger?
I'm guessing it didn't just "fall" on the list.

I do have to say this is quite the amuzment after having surgery, being able to read all the banter and child fighting, but I am lost. From what I read certian radios by the FCC are not allowed to be sold etc etc etc. then how is it that internatonal hams can get on here ebay and eham and buy US made radios and we sell and ship to them, vise versa, US Hams get other country Model gear cause of something that the US model did not offer. QRZ.com is not a retailer. It is simply a swap meat. or a fleamarket. So let try to keep it that way, instead of worry about if someone is supposed to sell something how about we just let the FCC regulate that like they are paid to. If he missuses a peice of equipment or some other violation then the fcc will get him. But really come on now it is just a CB radio, and dont tell me you never had one, think back when you where a kid, you wanted the roger beep and the dyna mic with echo and all the other cool stuff. in my opion i rather have it in a HAMS hand then some wacko, atleast then there is a better chance it wont TX in areas it aint supposed to and mess up the DX trying to work it's way in the US. I run QRP almost all the time, enjoy the challenge but I do have barries and one is nut-jobs useing illegal radios where they are not supposed to, but that is cause people try to get them in the right hands via here or ebay but the "Hall Monitor" yells for the teacher, so what happens it goes to a pawn shop and then into a 18wheeler or somewhere else.
Well that is my two cents. feel free to leave you comments.
Forgot to put this link in. All these radios are illegal, yet they are all sold right here for US Citzens and they even sell alot more. take a look for your self. If the FCC does not do anything about them, why would you worrie about qrz.com

For several reasons...
1) The admin has a post up in the for sale section asking people not post illegal radios, hacked CBs, etc.
2) Liability. If someone really wanted to get nasty, they could go after the individual that bought it, the individual that sold it, and the venue through which they bought it - even if it's nothing but a meet-me house. You still have to be able to show due diligence with regards to keeping illegal items out of your 'area', so to speak.
3) It's not "just a CB radio". Go check the specs on it, you'll find out that most of these are able to be opened 26-30 or 26-32 MHz with the snip of one wire. Now you have people who have NO IDEA about frequencies... just channels... and all they know is they have "extra channels". They don't know that band F channel 20 is 28.035MHz, and that it's waaay outside of CB. They don't know it's smack in the middle of 10M CW.
4) Many of them aren't CB radios at all... they're marketed as 10-meter radios. They start out life as a 28-30MHz "amateur radio", and then get opened up, wire snipped, and their tx/rx range is now 26-32. Might as well write off the bottom of 10M and give it to the truckers.
5) There's a reason certain radios are only for sale outside the US. It's usually because the FCC said you can't offer xyz and sell it here. So, it's now an 'export radio'.
You run QRP and you don't want it to get into the 'wrong hands'? The rulings don't say anything about it being OK for hams to break the law and buy/sell these radios. The more of these things circulate, the more opportunities for new sales (someone replacing a 35w radio with only 160 channels with a 90w radio with 360 channels).
I feel sorry for the people who own these radios, but 99% of the time they were purchased or sold through illegal means. "They should be able to recoup some of their money" is a bogus argument. The thing was illegal for sale when *they* bought it. *They* got taken by someone (if they didn't know it was illegal) or *they* specifically went out looking for the rig with the 'extrey channels'.
Allowing it to be resold is just perpetuating the problem. *Justifying* it's resale is just asinine.

KC4RAN,
Never the less it is the FCC responsiabitly not yours to continusllly openly point your finger at people. why not be smart, send them a PM (Privite Message) or email. inform them that they may not know what they are doing is not legel, why make it into a big show, do you enjoy belittle others, I see you are a Advance Class lisc, so I imagine you did the Code test, so i asume you have the notion that you are a little better then others cause some of us do not have to. sorta a look at me i am better then you complex. I have seen in three weeks you contiunsly post here after someone list something that may not be in there mind an illegal item, there is that information barrier, they truly may not have known. So do us a favor, keep it to your self, or between you and the other person, and if you are so set on policing the selling of these radios, why not pursure it with the FCC to ban the markiting and making of them in US stores, they are all over the place at truck stops and everywhere else, just leave the rest of us out of it. It gets kinda played out day after day, anyways that is all I have to say and I will not be sending a reply, go ahead and comment on my spelling, and grammer. I know I dont have best english, but at least i have IPC (Inter Personal Communicatino Skills) and I have morals and Respect. I know not to point out others faults in front of there peers just to make them look bad. My mother tought me to treat others i would want to be treated

Its not a matter of who is better than anyone else or not. It is a matter of right and wrong. For you new guys who might not know this the amature radio service has always been policed by the hams themselves. The FCC only enforces the laws. Rules are made to protect everybody and all have to follow them. All that is being said is to follow the rules. We have to draw a line somewhere and put a stop to things or nothing changes it keeps going on in a snowball effect. We as hams are supposed to be above this kind of activity and behavior. Let us all work together and try to put a stop to it before it ruins us all !

OK, After reading all of that I only have a few things to say. First, The galaxy 2547 is a LEGAL cb transmitter! end of story.
The 2547 share the same PCB as the galaxy 949 and 959 as well as the 919 and 929(but these models exclude SSB). The 2547 is simply a base station version of these mobiles. Unlike export radios, These galaxy models require the PLL to be "butchered" by removing a hi or low going to the binary adder to produce frequencies outside the standard 40 channel. EXPORT radios require nothing more than a few resistors or diodes to be removed!

Just went on search for Galaxy DX2547 Radios and found five or six sites selling this radio as a "CB" radio. However I did not see anything stating it is a ten meter radio. I must be the entrest of the FCC to pick out just a few dealers and sight them and let the others go on their way. What I can see the chassis is basicly the same as a "CB RADIO" Galaxy DX959 that is a lefal radio. Both can be modified and there are web sites with that information on them. By the way all Hams and SWL'er should be on the 20 and or 40 meter band today listening for the CW churp from the Battleship U.S. North Caroline . There is to be transmitting from the original CW transmitters today. I have not heard it yet butmaybe conditions are not right for this area. Try it You'll like it. 73's

Well!
I would be surprised IF Copper would answer that. they know darn well the drill. A LOT of us would like to see them either stop selling the so- called 10 meter radios and get with the program or be shut down!
Most of the garbage they sell as a 10 meter rig is priced in the same range as a good used Solid state radio anyway- It the echo mike (which would result in some laughter or No one talking to you if used on 10) worth the 335 they are selling this junk for?.
Funny thing is: I got a Emperor as a gift years ago, I had a problem with it, Sent a note to Copper for assistance, Email followed. 3 more behind the first- to date thay have yet to answer me. I guess they figured if they as much as answer a inquiry, they admit to selling a Rig on the boo-boo list.
By the way- EBay encourages the Ham radio community to let them know when Illegal radios: CB, or otherwise comes across the boards. Many guys are selling "Low Power FM- No license needed!" and similar lies. I say NAIL EM! If you are a responsible ham who cares about the hobby and the conditions of your Spectrum resources, you'll do EVERYTHING legally possible to defend them from encroachment. From Dirty Splattering CB'rs with No ALC wiping out the CW portion of 10 to the Gypsy Cabs running these Copper Specials, thinking no one's listening: the FCC and the ARRL has asked as far back as 2002 to REPORT the violations.
Everytime those rigs come on the air, they run a risk of causing problems for us.

It seems as RAN has taken it upon himself to be the QRZ #OO #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif # In my opinion RAN needs to get a life and tune his 2 meter HT to his local repeater and put his license to good use. #[that is if he owns a LEGAL radio] #Or maybe just turn in his license because it is not needed for computer chat rooms. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif # With 222 QRZ posts under his belt from his QRZ joining date of Jan. 2007 I can hardly see where he has time to talk on a radio or even carry on a normal life. Maybe we all should send him pictures of our own stations and maybe our old past issues of QST and he will see what hamming is all about. Also a large nippled baby bottle might be nice also along with a little diaper rash medicine. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

IMHO you will have better luck trying to sell this radio either on a CB related website that offers a swap place for buying and selling or take it to a swapmeet or sell it to a CB shop. Forget trying to sell the radio on here. There are way to many hammies that wait in the shadows waiting for a post like this so they can pounce and play KC cop. IMHO its ridiculous the way some act on here buy i guess they think they are doing eveyone a favor by harassing someone...
Im done and off my soapbox!!!

Quote[/b] (KC4RAN @ April 08 2007,21:51)]If you read the link (or you can search for other FCC citations) you'll find that the radio model (not just the particular individual radios they may have purchased) has been deemed illegal by that citation.
While I have no particular "personal" interest in this debate, I would like to clarify a comment.
KC4RAN said "the radio model (not just the particular individual radios they may have purchased) has been deemed illegal by that citation"
I believe that’s incorrect. #I think the phrase "Export Only" is what got them in trouble with the FCC. #In briefly searching online retailers I see that most sellers make no mention of the phrase "Export Only".
While I'm certainly no expert on FCC regulations, it does appear that this radio would be authorized for sale under QRZ guidelines & odds are, legal for sale & use in the United States.
One other comment; it doesn't seem worth arguing about http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif #The man bought a CB & is selling that CB. #It's not the end of the world. #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
My 2¢
