Title: FCC fines HobbyKing
Post by: Oscar on July 24, 2020, 10:07:56 AM
FCC fines HobbyKing $2.86 million for marketing drone transmitters that did not comply with FCC licensing rules;

FCC said dozens of devices marketed by company transmitted in unauthorized radio frequency bands and, in some cases, operated at excessive power levels.

This case that dates from 2016 when HobbyKing marketed a drone. It related to use of video transmissions.

I am not sure which model they refer to.  From my understanding, products that sold in here are FCC compliance.  (for example Fatshark or the new DJI products or the TBS long range).  Anyone know which models they refer to?

They are super not going to pay an FCC fine. They're not an american company.
