FCC Certified? The Ham Radio Lie Everyone Believes Temporarily Offline 2025-05-11 | There's a common myth in the ham radio world: that your radio must be FCC certified. But here’s the real truth—there is no such thing as an FCC certification for a Part 97 ham radio.In this video, I break down what the FCC actually requires, the difference between Part 15 and Part 97, and why your Baofeng isn’t automatically illegal—despite what the keyboard warriors say.⚠️ I’ve even got the receipts—from Yaesu and Icom themselves.📡 Licensed amateurs have the legal authority to build and operate their own radios. So why does the myth persist?➤ Let’s settle this once and for all.📚 Relevant FCC Rules:• 47 CFR Part 97 - Amateur Radio Service: ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-97• FCC Equipment Authorization: fcc.gov/oet/ea• How to FCC-IDs are made up: fcc.gov/oet/ea/granteecode👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments.
