The original radio would not have passed FCC approval. It was sold as a 
kit from China, then a relative of the vendor brought some kits into 
Canada and sold them on eBay. Since they were kits, and not actual 
radios, they did not have to have FCC approval.

Both MFJ and Ten-Tec bought rights to sell them assembled, and in order 
to pass FCC approval had to add output filtering. I forget which, but 
one company sold them as two band radios, and the other as single band.
