I still can't believe after all the jokes we made the radio police really does exist LOL
If the baofengs are restricted, then so are the wouxuns. They have all the same features. We're just not allowed cool radios anymore.
Restrictions were placed because they're openly programmable (and also crazy powerful). A few retailers were able to keep selling them through a loophole: "no program, no problem", and "it's got a low power setting!", so technically they weren't illegal until you turned them on.
However I guess they said no to that finally since capital and bent barrel don't seem to be selling the wouxuns now.
Also, I've brought in plenty of ITAR restricted items, lots of them even through the US border. But just because you've done it, does NOT in any way mean everyone else is good to go.
If customs doesn't check the package, it means it slipped through the cracks. It doesn't mean it's legal.
