This radio has a commercial mode but no where that I can find does it describe which commercial license. Looking at the tag under the battery...

FCC ID T4KD887UV https://fccid.io/T4KD878UV ...so part 22 and part 90?

Part 90 is Commercial, public safety and Government, but what is Part 22 exactly? Trying to figure this out is like looking for a sentence in War and Peace.

  • Part 90 is Private Land Mobile Services (not Amateur Radio, which is Part 97). That is, police, fire, taxi, tow trucks, railroads, etc. – WA9ZZZ Jan 20 '21 at 00:43
  • Uh... then this ISN'T a Ham HT ?! OH! Wait. The part 97 license won't be in the radio because I'm the one with the part 97 license, not the radio. – NonYaBidnezz Jan 24 '21 at 02:56

If you click on "22" in the web page you linked to, you're taken to this page, which reveals that Part 22 is CFR › Title 47 › Volume 2 › Chapter I › Subchapter B › Part 22 - Public Mobile Services.

So I think the answer that you were looking for is that Part 22 is Public Mobile Services. I was surprised to see that Wikipedia doesn't have an article about Public Mobile Services. 47 CFR § 22.99 defines Public Mobile Services as, "Radio services in which licensees are authorized to offer and provide mobile and related fixed radio telecommunication services for hire to the public."

    Cell phones being probably the most well known Public Mobile Service, but also covers paging and a few other services. – WA9ZZZ Jan 20 '21 at 00:58
  • Any ideas what that is about? Maybe the GPS? – NonYaBidnezz Jan 24 '21 at 02:58

    Nobody is allowed to transmit on GPS except the govt. – user10489 Jan 26 '21 at 05:31
  • If you're asking why Part 22 rather than Part 90, I have no idea. It has nothing to do with the GPS because the radio doesn't transmit on the GPS band, and FCC type certification isn't required for receivers. – rclocher3 Jan 26 '21 at 16:10
