Care to give some details like what method of SSB generation this here
radio will use? Will this be a transmitter or tranceiver? What will the IF frequency be? To go with your linear? So you are just another law breaking cber I see. Does this mean you think all CB'ers are law breakers??? |

If Dr IQ is running an external linear he certainly is. If he is going to build a cb transmitter, which will not be type accepted and put it on the air he certainly will be. |

Type approved.... hmm, its a bit of a strange one that ... which makes me think "type approved" for Amateur is something home made from bits of anything.... not tested by anyone... just soldered together by an Amateur so it must be perfect ...right? No spurious emmisions or any interference because the person cobbling it together is an Amateur...... Now no disrespect here is aimed at Amateurs, just some of the laws governing the hobby seem to be crazy. Amateurs building their own kit and having it tested via some professional body before use i can accept.... but does that ticket mean you can build your own "boots" and use it no matter how bad it may be made? It seems so..... sod type approval eh. Or were you just relating to "licence conditions" I know a few Amateurs who are law breakers too. Using their illegally adapted Amateur equipment to listen in to CB frequencies i believe is a NO NO, unless you have a CB licence... to which would Amateurs actually bother to get a CB licence? Are the radios actually legal to use on the CB bands?? i dont know 100% so i ask the question. We all do things from time to time that are deemed illegal.... so your statement on "No, not all chicken banders are law breakers, but a very large portion are" could be said against any group of people. Whats your opinion on M3's? Do you encorage them or see them as a stain on Amateur radio? Im just curious by the way. Regards, Graham |

It seems so..... sod type approval eh. Or were you just relating to "licence conditions" Maybe the rules are different where you are, but in the US amateurs can construct any of their equipment, but it *is their responsibility* to test it and make sure it operates legally. If it doesn't they can be held accountable by the FCC. Granted, there are few today, due to lack of technical knowledge that can do that. It wasn't that long ago however, that finding a ham station completely constructed by the amateur wasn't uncommon or often surplus military gear would be modified for use on the amateur bands. With the plug-and-talk equipment of today, easier test with given answers that can be memorized, the technical expertise of the amateur is sadly lacking I know a few Amateurs who are law breakers too. Using their illegally adapted Amateur equipment to listen in to CB frequencies i believe is a NO NO, unless you have a CB licence... In the US any ham or anyone else can legally listen in on cb frequencies. to which would Amateurs actually bother to get a CB licence? Since there is no requirement here for a cb license I don't suppose any amateur would bother. Are the radios actually legal to use on the CB bands?? Only radios that are type accepted for cb use are legal to use on the cb bands. There is a problem here with imported radios that have 'expanded' channels that will also operate on the 10 meter ham band. These radios are not 'type certified' for cb use and they are purchased by unlicensed persons and are often used on the 10 meter band. Some time back it was a popular thing for amateurs to take cb radios and convert them for use on the 10 meter band, just change the crystals, peak up the circuits and you had a nice little mobile 10 meter radio. Once modified as such the radios were no longer type certified nor legal for cb use but perfectly legal for amateur use. i dont know 100% so i ask the question. We all do things from time to time that are deemed illegal.... so your statement on "No, not all chicken banders are law breakers, but a very large portion are" could be said against any group of people. True, but there is a much larger percentage of illegal operation on the cb band than on the amateur bands, at least here in the US. And we have the 'freebanders' who for some strange reason think they have the right to operate on the frequencies between the upper end of the cb band and the lower end of 10 meters plus just about anywhere else they chose. Whats your opinion on M3's? Do you encorage them or see them as a stain on Amateur radio? Im just curious by the way. I must confess I haven't acquainted myself with M3's. Is this a test free amateur license? |

With the plug-and-talk equipment of today, easier test with given answers that can be memorized, the technical expertise of the amateur is sadly lacking Ive seen a few of the ex military gear on my frequent walks around the radio rally meetings held in the UK at various times of the year. Ive even seen small tanks for sale ) I know a few Amateurs who are law breakers too.

Once modified as such the radios were no longer type certified nor legal for cb use but perfectly legal for amateur use. Indeed. But what i was getting at was Amateur radios that can access the CB bands not CB's themselves. I know in the UK if an amateur wants to converse on the 27MHz CB band he needs a CB licence.. his Amateur licence doesnt cover him/her for it. (or whether thats just M3 im not sure) Im sure someone will let us know. i dont know 100% so i ask the question.

Is this a test free amateur license? In the UK its a simple test (which only an idiot would fail) to get people started on the Amateur bands. I think the main frequencies being 2m. Im not sure where else they can go but its limited compaired to a full amateur and the powers less. Most UK Amateurs are horrified that their airspace is being invaded by these "CB type lowlife" (their words not mine) which suprises me as i firmly believe anyone gaining their M3 licence would go on to Intermediate... etc not stop there so i cant see why the "old hams" arent encoraging them rather than belittling them. http://rsgb.org.uk/beginners/ under foundation Regards, Graham |

That is what our Novice license was for, an entry type of license, nothing real hard on the test, only 5wpm for code, limited power and not all frequency privileges. so i cant see why the "old hams" arent encoraging them rather than belittling them. It seems that is often the position taken not by just 'old hams' today, but by some of those who do upgrade. Kinda like how as a freshman in high-school you were looked down on by upper-classmen. It didn't use to be that way. When I had my Novice ticket, I probably worked more General and higher class licensees on the Novice bands because they would come to the Novice frequencies and work us, sending code slowly and carefully to encourage us to get proficient enough to upgrade. Amateur radio used to be very gentlemanly, still is for the most part but seems amateur radio has begun to reflect much of today's rude society. |

"Murray Mints." Maybe it was on the radio series, I have the CD set. I remember, with my alder relatives, Nutalls Mintos and mint imperials... but it always seems to be mints. Avoid mints at all costs, it's a sign that you are getting old. Regards, Peter. http://www.citizensband.radiouk.com/ |
