Scanners and Electronics Equipment
Scanners
Generally, scanning receivers and radios may be listed on Half.com. However, you may not list any scanning receiver or radio that receives cellular transmissions or has "full 800mz" coverage.
Low Power Radio Transmitting Devices and Related Equipment
Devices that transmit radio signals on the AM or FM bands are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, and there are regulations that restrict the range of such devices. On FM frequencies, these low power devices are limited to an effective service range of approximately 35 to 100 feet (11 to 30 meters). On the AM broadcast band, these devices are limited to an effective service range of approximately 200 to 250 feet (61 to 76) meters). Half.com does not permit the listing of devises that claim or suggest a more extensive range, as such items may violate these regulations. Need more info before listing or bidding? Visit the FCC's Audio Services Division.
Radar Jamming Devices
There are some products that claim to "jam" or otherwise interfere with police radar devices. According to the FCC, such devices are not lawful, and therefore they may not be listed on Half.com.
Extended Coverage High Frequency Transceivers
Equipment that is intended to operate in various radio services in the high frequency radio spectrum, including "10-Meter" Amateur Radio Service (ARS) equipment, is lawful and may be sold. However, some items of this nature that are capable of transmitting, and are being operated, in nearby frequency bands allocated to other radio services such as the Private Land Mobile Radio Services, Maritime Services, Auxiliary Broadcast Services, International Broadcasting Services, the Citizens Band Radio Service, and the U.S. Government. Operation of this equipment causes interference to the authorized users of these frequencies.
Members may not list a high frequency transceiver that is designed to operate on frequencies outside of the ARS bands, if it has not been issued a grant of equipment authorization for the radio service(s) in which the transmitter is capable of operating.
CB Amplifiers
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not permit the use of power amplifiers with Citizens Band radios. Therefore, Half.com prohibits any listings of the following:
CB amplifiers Amplifiers specified for use on the 11 Meter band Amplifiers designed for use in frequencies 24 MHz to 35MHz Amplifiers posted within the CB category CB Radios that are amplified to exceed 4 Watts using the AM Settings or 12 Watts using the SSB settings
Further clarification can be found in the FCC rules C.F.R. Title 47 Section 2.815
