write folks long letter explaining felt interpreting ruling FCC differently did reason miffed because still have 10 radios would pass certification process about throw perfectly good radios away explained thought old radios should grandfathered like old cars couldnt build 1951 Chevy today because smog other restrictions long still run could use believed part motivation jump bandwagon push everybody buy new radios fueled desire generate revenues rather other issues biggest gripe way FCC ruling read believed mean restrictions new manufacture did read would able continue use old stuff Another problem trying buy new supposed 1991 radios went several old favorite stores could find sale obvious factories going deplete old stocks before making new stuff readily available impressed

write folks long letter explaining felt interpreting ruling FCC differently did reason miffed because still have 10 radios would pass certification process about throw perfectly good radios away explained thought old radios should grandfathered like old cars couldnt build 1951 Chevy today because smog other restrictions long still run could use believed part motivation jump bandwagon push everybody buy new radios fueled desire generate revenues rather other issues biggest gripe way FCC ruling read believed mean restrictions new manufacture did read would able continue use old stuff Another problem trying buy new supposed 1991 radios went several old favorite stores could find sale obvious factories going deplete old stocks before making new stuff readily available impressed
