hams wanting to report businessees for using frs
 

Interesting. The hams are just like I said. I was listening to the ham
radio operators on my scanner tonight. They were complaining about
businesses using family service radios and frequencies. They said that
it's against the law and against fcc rules for businesses to operate on
fr frequencies with family service radios. The hams want to report the
businesses to the FCC for illegally operating their businesses on
family radio service frequencies with family service radios instead of
using business band frequencies and business band radios.

Now everyone, correct me if I'm wrong in this sentence, but I thought
that the FCC rules say that it's perfectly legal for businesses to
ooperate their businesses on family radio service frequencies with
family service radios.

I don't operate or own a business at all. I use mine for family
communications. Just in case any of the hams try and say that I have
an ulterior motive by and from owning my own business.

It's reasons like this plus what I posted in the past few days, how
hams turned me off of ham radio completely..

I was interested in all kinds of radio ever since I was little, There
was even a time when I was looking forwards to getting my ham liscense.
But all of you hams turned me off of ham radio completely.

I'm glad I'm finally getting back into cb now. I'd much rather be a
cb'er than a ham radio operator.

The cb'ers are a much higher class of people than you hams who want to
report people operating legally as operating illegally.

And the people you're wanting to report aren't even operating on any of
your ham bands at all!!!

They're operating on the family radio service frequencies. And
operating legally.

As for being a cb'er and getting back into cb. Yeeeeeehawwwwwww.

Oh, come on now. I have never ever ever seen a consumer level frs/gmrs
combination radio that includes the GMRS repeater input channels.

None of them do.

And the hams specifically mentioned family radio service repeaters on
the family radio service repeaters. They never mentioned GMRS repeaters
or GMRS frequencies in that conversation. You would think that hams
would be smart enough to know that those are GMRS repeaters and not frs
repeaters and as such that none of the consumer level bubble pack frs
eadios they were talking about contain any GMRS repeater input
frequencies where the frs operators can access gmrs repeaters.

Once again, how did such ignorant hams ever get their ham radio
liscense if they're supposed to know everything about all radio
services a nd frequencies to get their ham liscense as some of the hams
claim?

And none of the frs-only radios contain any of those channels either.
The hams specifically mentioned only frs and frs repeaters.

I'm glad the code requirement is going away. With more people in there,
maybe we'll finally get some intelligent civil people on the ham bands.


People who won't report other people as committing illegal activities
until they actually check out both the facts and the situation first to
determine if it really is an ilegal transmission or a legal
transmission.

With more people in there, more people will be watching and hopefully
prevent the current code-knowledgable hams ffom abusing the system like
they are by them passing their close friends who don't know anything at
all about ham radio and flunking people who know about ham radio
because they aren't their close friends.

That doesn't have anything to do with it. It has happened way before
that also. This has been and is an ongoing things. The hams like
reporting people as committing illegal activities without even
bothering to check either the facts or situation first. In my book,
that's irresponsible.
alot of ham are ironspible and ful of it too

The hams also seemed almost completely ignorant of the family radio
service.

The hams said that the frs radios go way farther than the
manufacturers' claims because they can hear it way farther away than
that on their scanners.

The hams were also complaining about the family radio service opeators
who complain that the frs radios don't go anywhere near as far as the
manufacturers' claims.

The hams said those frs operators are just too stupid to realize that
they simply have to go through the frs repeaters that are on the frs
frequencies to get that kind of range.

Now everyone, correct me if I'm wrong in this sentence, but I thought
that the FCC rules say that it's against the law and against FCC rules
to have repeaters on frs frequencies.

not exactly FRS channels are shared with service GMRS that allows
reptears

So the hams are actually promoting illegal activities as legal, while
trying to report legal operators as operating illegally.

Now since you hams say that hams are supposed to know everything
about all radio, including ones not their own, to get their liscense,
how did these hams ever get their liscense? Are they really THAT
ignorant?

Or are they purposely promoting illegal activities while purposely
trying to get legal operators off the band by reporting legal operators
as illegal operators?

My guess is they really are that ignorant. and got their ham liscenses
by their ham friends getting them in.

By the way, all of these hams were ones who know CW/ morse code.

I think most cb operators are more intelligent than those hams even
though most of them probably don't know cw/ morse code.

I've listened to cb around here. The cb bands seem more intelligent to
me.

I don't usually hear the types of transmissions over the cb channels
that the hams claim they hear.all of the time on cb.

There is no designation as to whom can or can not use FRS, with the
exception that you must be citizen of the USA.
