[amsat-bb] Re: Illegal cordless phones (was Interference on AO-51)

["George Henry" <ka3hsw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can do it by the model number, but I just reported all the phones 
listing a range of greater than 1 kM or listing high RF output levels (like 
11 watts!), all of which are illegal to import, sell, or use in the US, 
which qualifies them as banned items on E-Bay.  It might take a day or two 
for the listings to be pulled, though.
