Indeed, I agree that this is likely the best course.

I suggest that anyone willing to do so respectfully suggest to corporate
management that they either ask from corporate level that salespeople
inform customers of need for licensing on any radio they sell which
requires one OR developing VISIBLE signs which state, "AN FCC LICENSE IS
REQUIRED TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT!  Unlicemsed use can result in fines or
imprisonment. ", to place on the display shelves where amateur and any
other "license required" gear is displayed.

The people I spoke with did not even realize themselves that a license
was needed until I told them it was.  They then went on the defensive.
Such a sign can also educate sales staff!

Again, just a thought,

73 all and thanks for the feedback from all of you both on and off the
list.
