Does anyone know if the presidential order on telecom equipment imports affects mikrotik directly in imports or indirectly through the supply chain? I assume direct info would be hard to find but I'm curious what your general feelings and suspicions are about the future of equipment for hamwan in light of the chinese handheld radio ban for hams. Is it possible we can't even acquire this hardware at all soon? Robert(kd2iua)
There is no ham radio Chinese handheld ban. Some over zealous anti-chinese handheld hams misrepresented the action. Mikrotik is based in Latvia, not China. On Mon, May 27, 2019, 12:01 kd2iua.ham <kd2iua.ham@gmail.com> wrote:

Thank you John. Furthermore the FCC doesn't consider 2way radios as "Telecommunications Equipment!" Sent from mobile device. -------- Original message -------- From: "John D.

So, not like I really want to jump into a shit show, but...... There is a lot of hyperbole going on surrounding the current administration and China. I think I’d like to offer that we kill this topic and stay on point since it can become politically sticky quickly. I work for a Chinse owned company and I am staying as close as I can without getting poo on my shoes. If you are worried about sourcing things from China, well, look at the things you buy currently, and you’ll see it is likely not to change any time soon.
