Electronics Equipment

Scanners

Generally, scanning receivers and radios may be listed on eChinabid. 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

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). eChinabid does not permit the listing of devices that claim or suggest a more extensive range, as such items may violate these regulations.

Radar jamming devices

There are some products that claim to "jam" or otherwise interfere with police radar devices. Such devices are not lawful, and therefore they may not be listed on eChinabid.

Traffic light control devices or signal changers

Products that claim to change stoplights or otherwise inhibit the natural pattern of a traffic signal are not permitted.

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 unlawful and may be unsold.

Users 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

It is not permitted to use the power amplifiers with Citizens Band radios. Therefore, eChinabid 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

Cordless telephones

Most cordless telephones are lawful and may be sold on eChinabid. Cordless telephones, as opposed to cellular telephones, are designed to transmit by radio waves to a portable handset connected to an existing telephone line.

Unauthorized long-range cordless telephones may interfere with frequencies of authorized users and aeronautical communications.


Odometer Modification Devices

Because it is unlawful in many jurisdictions to reset odometers to read less than the true actual mileage on a motor vehicle, sales of odometer modification and calibration devices (whether manual or electronic) are prohibited on eChinabid.
