Directly from their site!!!

>From their FAQ page:

Why haven't I heard of these phones before?
Long-range phones have been around for decades. They are not sold in US
stores primarily because most are not FCC certified. We have been selling
these products since 1995, with great success.

Why can't some of these phones be used in the USA?
Sales to US customers (other than military, government, or law enforcement)
are for EXPORT ONLY. The main reason that these phones are not FCC certified
is that they exceed the maximum power requirements mandated by the FCC
and/or make use of frequencies commonly used by non-telephone equipment.

..END QUOTE..

So how come this is not specified on the main page?
