WRUE951 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 On 7/13/2024 at 8:31 PM, SteveShannon said: This!!! Forums are always full of people who just can’t believe that rules and laws mean nothing more or less than what is actually written in the rule or law, not what is written elsewhere. They always attempt to explain the intent, but the fact is that intent is worthless. The only thing that ever matters in a courtroom is the letter of the law. But the reality is that the road to the courthouse can be very expensive and most of us know that we can’t afford to fight as long as it might take to get to the letter of the law. That’s where risk aversion comes from. Meanwhile, quite a few here are blowing nothing but angry hot air because 'big man' is putting the hammer down.. And some of us are laughing our a$$ off on the sidelines.. Davichko5650 and Raybestos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I think you might need therapy after reading that pathetic string of posts. You can't win the debate with facts to back your opinion, so you start name-calling, being vulgar and antagonistic. A true sign that you are losing and angry about it. Lets be very, very clear about something... I have zero F's to give. I have no grievance with the FCC. I like the way things are working right now. I don't have a dog in the fight, I'm not buying one, and I have nothing to prove. Frankly, I don't care about your opinion either. The only reason I post what I do is so someone new to the forum or with less information, doesn't come in here, read the crap you post, and mistakenly believe it is correct because there was no voice to oppose it. The truth is linked repeaters are legal (via several means), they are not going anywhere and not one single person whining about has been able to provide a single shred of proof to the contrary. Also, I'm not mad about anything. Though, I do feel bad for you from time to time. Anyway, the mean ole repeater owners aren't going anywhere. Find a new hobby or get over it.

You don't reason with jammers... you beg big brother FCC to do something about it in hopes that they'll use their one enforcement act a year to send the jammer a mean letter, which someone will then post on here as proof that the FCC is going to send $50k fines to everyone that keys up a UV-5R on GMRS frequencies. marcspaz, SteveShannon and WRUU653 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSCE577 Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 OK, so I am joining this topic way late, but I read through most of the comments. My question is that a video on here stated that a Baofeng radio could not be used legally on GMRS unless you had a HAM license in addition to a GMRS license. Is that a transmit power thing or is it bunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a transmit power thing or is it bunk? Depends on the Baofeng radio. If it is a Baofeng HAM radio, then the FCCs says it cannot be used on GMRS. If it is a Baofeng GMRS radio then IF you have a GMRS license, the FCCs says you can use it on GMRS. The question you should be asking is, does anyone, including the FCCs, care?

quarterwave Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Anyone here know anything about linking 2 repeaters together? I think it would be an awesome idea, and I just thought of it.

From what I've read, especially here, there seems to be not only universal support for the idea, but very clear rules set forth by the FCC concerning implementation. I say let's try it! What's the worst that can happen. Raybestos, WRUU653 and SteveShannon 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
