PORTABLE HANDHELD MULTI-BAND RADIO

Is This Thing On?

Yikes! Gotta be faster than that! Surplus: once it's gone, it's gone!

Meet the Baofeng BF-F9 5-Watt Dual-Band Handheld Ham Radio. This handy handset is anything but amateur; with three transmission power settings you can select between "invite-your-neighbors-to-dinner" power (1 watt, approx. walkie-talkie power, approx. 2-3 miles), "call-your-ham-club-across-town" power (4 watts, approx. 4-5 miles), or "try-and-see-what-the-ISS-astronauts-had-for-breakfast" power (5 watts, approx. 5-6 miles). 

Jarvis Says: Transmitting radio on one of the following restricted frequencies without a license or authorization by the FCC can result in a variety of enforcement actions, including seizure of equipment, fines and other criminal penalties: 136 MHz – 137 MHz (Aviation Services, Part 87); 137 MHz – 138 MHz (Satellite Communications, Part 25); 138 MHz – 144 MHz (not available to any FCC licensee – Federal use only); 156.7625 MHz – 157.0375 MHz (Maritime Services, Part 80 and Aviation Services). Other frequencies may require an Amateur Radio license for transmission.
