Most of those examples are not great. Tesla isn't making cars... they're making electric cars. The iPhone wasn't the first phone, or even mobile phone. It was the first mass market SmartPhone. Those products each have a diffe

Yeah, I just think it would be nice to have a "non-custom equipment" license. Allow me to buy the BaoFeng equipment with a license based on radio etiquette, laws, etc. And avoid all the test questions about amplifiers, and antenna
