Does this radio have fcc part 90 certification for business band frequencies?

I don't think so. I cannot find any licenses for this radio on the FCC ID lookup for 2AAR8 (Retevis). Furthermore I've been reading as well as seeing YouYube videos showing how easy it is to field program this radio which is against the FCC Part 90 rules. This radio has no FCC certification which means it's not legal to use in the US even for ham radio because it's not locked to the VHF and UHF amateur bands. FCC Part 90.203: (e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section, transmitters designed to operate above 25 MHz shall not be certified for use under this part if the operator can program and transmit on frequencies, other than those programmed by the manufacturer, service or maintenance personnel, using the equipment's external operation controls. (f) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this section, transmitters designed to operate above 25 MHz that have been approved prior to January 15, 1988, and that permit the operator, by using external controls, to program the transmitter's operating frequencies, shall not be manufactured in, or imported into the United States after March 15, 1988. Marketing of these transmitters shall not be permitted after March 15, 1989. (g) Transmitters having frequency programming capability and that are designed to operate above 25 MHz are exempt from paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section if the design of such transmitters: (1) Is such that transmitters with external controls normally available to the operator must be internally modified to place the equipment in the programmable mode. Further, while in the programmable mode, the equipment shall not be capable of transmitting. The procedures for making the modification and altering the frequency program shall not be made available with the operating information normally supplied to the end user of the equipment; or (2) Requires the transmitter to be programmed for frequencies through controls normally inaccessible to the operator; or (3) Requires equipment to be programmed for frequencies through use of external devices or specifically programmed modules made available only to service/maintenance personnel; or (4) Requires equipment to be programmed through cloning (copying a program directly from another transmitter) using devices and procedures made available only to service/maintenance personnel.
