It also applies to mobile and portable operation using an HT. They can even arrest you and take your HT just for walking down the street and talking on it. And you all didn't believe me that SOME cities and counties are doing this. I didn't even know about the Palmdale California one until reading this message. So chalk up ANOTHER city making such a rule. technically no they can't, Congress passed a law in 1983 giving the FCC full authority of RF energy also in the 1980's the FCC passed PRB-1 which exempts amateurs to some degree, for example any ordinance that bans all antenna violates PRB-1. Any ordinance created must use the lease restrictive means to serve the government interest.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - "must use the least restrictive means" then what about all the previous statements in thse newsgroups that legally the local authorities are allowed to be more restrictive than the federal radio rules, but not legally allowed to be less restrictive than the federal rules??????? It seems to be if thety're allowed to be MORE restrictive than the federal rules, then the ban on ham radio in that city by that city is completely legal, if the law passed. |
