Precisely.
Or maybe that is what you were wishing for.
So easy to throw matches in here.
Poor Steve doesn't know what 88 means even tho he has been a ham forever.

Jesus Christ... this guy is retarded.
That wasn't relevant to the thread.
Why don't you tell everyone your secret information about the situation surrounding the letter instead of calling on Jesus.

That was in reference to tax refunds (your money) Because if you read and understood the entire post it was about refund intercepts.

Not to pay taxes. lol. God I never laughed so much in my life.

Steve got so seriously butt hurt, maybe I should send him a internet ham DX contact card to make him feel better.
By all means guys, continue the conversation about the paperweight letter. I'll stay clear as I watch you guys scrub each other's backs on the subject.

Congratulations on making a great first impression!
Great relevant and informative post. I am so inspired by this.

It is only relevant in your own mind, and still does not justify signing a amateur call sign in a GMRS focused section. Apples and Oranges. Who cares, as if I don't have many other calls signs.
My previous posts were relevant how to defend yourself against FCC civil action and how easy it is for any one of you to get the next letter as the old FCC did do random "get anyone" enforcements.
Far as "insults" Go back and read who started the random school boy cut downs calling people a whacko.
But yes in your mind that is justified shows your ethical standard as null

I will tell you what is rubbish is you signing with a amateur call sign on a GMRS forum. LOL

You are foolish to believe that you never, ever have broken a FCC rule or reg. in your lifetime. It is easy to overlook a rule here and there. A violation is still a violation. How many of you "forgot" to press that monitor button to listen for other transmitting stations on that shared frequency
before you started talking? Oh gee, by definition, that is technically harmful interference of another licensed station. Hum. Interesting.
Oh and don't forget proper station operation also includes that all your hardware is within spec as well. Let's check all these China imported garbage radios, connectors, coax and antennas and see how many of you pass an engineers inspection.
Oh please. You guys are comical or just plain naive.

From the FCC:
Enforcement Fines: The Collection Process | Federal Communications Commission (fcc.gov)
More clarification on how current enforcement works in this article.
Legislation introduced to strengthen FCC enforcement | TransNexus
A current summary of the process: FCC fines you, you don't pay, FCC sends the case to DOJ for POSSIBLE Civil court litigation, if DOJ refuses to take court action, the case is sent to US Treasury Offset program (TOP) where there is a federal withholding (such as IRS refund interception) to pay your debt, if no collection is successful by US Treasury, US Treasury sends it to private collections.
All are still civil, if your case happens to get to the federal civil court level by DOJ (less likely not), you have had plenty of time to move assets to a trust before service of process and the final judgment still has no teeth. But sure, go pay that federal lawyer a $10,000+ retainer (not your local court lawyer) to educate you on your rights and how to defend yourself from civil action.

Actually it should say “This post is one person’s opinion. If you take legal advice from some random internet expert you’re on your own.”
Go do your research. Don't take my word for it. After all, forums are all just opinions and viewpoints. Even if possible facts are presented it is up to each person to fact-check for themselves. No disclaimer should be needed after each post.
I will correct myself on one point. The collection time frame depends on the jurisdiction. My comment was on my local collection jurisdiction.

I never understood why people get so gitty at FCC Enforcement letters. FCC sends you a letter, so what? You have a right not to say jack shit. Because everything that you respond with will for sure be used against you and only help their case. Unless you just want to toy with them and get into some good legal arguments.
FCC fines you. So what? Don't pay the fine. They refer the matter to the US Treasury after a while. Okay cool. Make sure you have no reason to get a tax refund (You shouldn't let the IRS keep your money anyway, but that is a whole other story)
After their attempts to take your tax refunds, etc. they will just refer it to collections. Again, so? Collection attempts go away after 10 years of them sending you harassing letters and phone calls. Boo hoo.

I'll just point this out in case you care. The XPR7550e is not Part 95 certified but it's quality far exceeds any GMRS-only radio I have ever come across. For that reason, for me using the XPR-7550e for GMRS is an acceptable risk. This is just my personal opinion and you have to decide for yourself whether or not this is acceptable for you. That radio can also do ham frequencies with no problem. The FCC SHOULD be happy about this because there is a greater likelihood that your emissions will conform to the FCC part 95 rules but in reality they probably just don't care unless they come after you for some other abuse and just want to pile on more fines. I have never heard of anyone fined for using a non-certified radio that conforms to Part 95 emissions where that was the only offense. The FCC generally only responds to complaints.
The FCC has already stated that as long as the radio is certified Part 90 that it is fine because the cert. meets or exceeds part 95 certification.
Also you are not required to do 20, FCC only states maximum, therefore 12.5 is acceptable and in my option 12.5 should be standard across the board including ham. Many GMRS repeaters are already 12.5
before you started talking? Oh gee, by definition, that is technically harmful interference of another licensed station. Hum. Interesting.
