Post #125223757 added 02-09-2019 10:15 PM by apathyduck in Deal Talk
This argument again? The FCC specifically authorizes hams to use any equipment as long as it performs to acceptable standards (good engineering). See CFR 97. The entire purpose of that letter was to...
Post #125226820 added 02-10-2019 1:27 AM by apathyduck in Deal Talk
Oh, "research" huh? According to your "research" what codified basis does the FCC have to take action against a licensed amateur operator using one to operate a station? Please provide reference - I...

Do you really want to end up in the hoosgow in some banana republic for having these along?
Post #125228836 added 02-10-2019 4:33 AM by ngtwolf in Deal Talk
I'll answer this from the technical side, plenty of posts on legal issues and those folks will have issue with my post but it is what it is. Yes, they will work better on cruise ships then any...

These can be had for 20 to 24 bucks every day. Great radios though, you do need a license.. and technically even using them just in FRS bands is illegal because they are too powerful.
Post #125207800 added 02-09-2019 8:53 AM by commemoratives in Deal Talk
Not until they push the transmit button. Even at the low power setting it is over the limit for the FRS frequencies. I will wager a person who bought these and handed them out to children in...

And wild game poachers in rural areas say the same thing, until they are caught. As in most cases, it's a gamble when violating the law. If you want to gamble, by all means carry on.
Post #125209615 added 02-09-2019 10:13 AM by henny in Deal Talk
So, it sounds like you could use FRS channels without an issue and possibly GMRS even though it's technically a violation? (ie common walkie talkie channels) However you better not venture out to...

Something to consider with this deal is all are complete radios. You have spares if one decides to crap out and all the spare batteries you would have too. The batteries are about $11 on amazon for...

My 1st thought with no hint of potential range in the description

I am a licensed HAM operator and I recommend all whom want a radio like this get licensed as well. Operating without a license on ham bands = illegal and you will eventually get caught. The clubs...

Can I use these as normal walkie talkies without having to get a license? Will just use them when we go out dirtbike/quad riding in the mountain trails.
Post #125217310 added 02-09-2019 4:19 PM by HapShaughnessy in Deal Talk
Getting into the weeds: the FCC has ruled that these and most other cheap Chinese radios are now essentially illegal for use as of September 24 and it is technically illegal to import, sell and...
Post #125217412 added 02-09-2019 4:26 PM by rock4life in Deal Talk
This is a yes and no answer. If the department for police and fire are still operating in the older bands like around 155mhz or in the 440mhz range these radios can hear them without mods. On some...

FCC's own hunting, yes. A couple of ham operators ratting you out, no.

On my first try very easy only got one wrong total study time about 8 for me. ( Test has only 35 questions you actually allowed to get 9 wrong and still pass ) My son's is a engineer and he...
Post #125249932 added 02-10-2019 9:54 PM by ngtwolf in Deal Talk
Ahh, interesting.. didn't know about any FCC change but yeah, the software settings before had no reflection on legal stuff, meaning you could pick high or low transmit power for any channel and it...

Always someone selling those on ebay. Really hard to find a sale on any new as they are a niche / slightly underground type thing. (If you want one with power anyway.) I heart my Galaxy...

Can this be used by a referee crew on the field?
Post #125211337 added 02-09-2019 11:19 AM by Jaggsta in Deal Talk
they are $19.99 on ebay and if buy 4 or more its $19.39 each

That listing does not show the programming cable that this deal has. They are about $15 to $20 for a cable and you most definitely need the cable.
Post #125214553 added 02-09-2019 1:47 PM by strucksylver in Deal Talk
No need to be snarky. I have read this thread and there is a lot talk of needing a license for ham radio use; I just want to know if these can be used as normal walki talkies.
Post #125214601 added 02-09-2019 1:49 PM by HapShaughnessy in Deal Talk
No, not legally. If so, and you do stupid things, there will likely be an FCC guy knocking on your door sooner or later. HAM folks protect their turf, especially if you get on their repeaters and act...

Lots of hams have their callsigns on their cars. Usually it's a net positive rather than negative.

Amazon third-party have to be a thousand plus to post on SD

Ah, yes, I agree then :) Sorry I misunderstood your first message.

Anything on the net in regards to the last FCC Ham enforcement AND prosecution?
Post #125220340 added 02-09-2019 7:26 PM by HapShaughnessy in Deal Talk
Most FCC actions are warning letters that are not published. A threat from Uncle Sam of a fine of thousands of dollars is usually enough to make the morons behave.
Post #125207104 added 02-09-2019 8:09 AM by inot in Deal Talk
Just use the programming cable to keep the presets to the unlicensed frequencies until you get your license.
Post #125207356 added 02-09-2019 8:22 AM by TunaNugget in Deal Talk
The list price is what the manufacturer wishes they could get.
Post #125208676 added 02-09-2019 9:33 AM by Sheltonct in Deal Talk
Only difference is the eBay ($20) one doesn’t come with a usb programming cable. That can be purchased under $5. Just bought mine this way and was going to post same thing. But unless you...

On the other hand, there's no minimum age requirement for a license, only that the person be able to pass the licensing exam.
Post #125209030 added 02-09-2019 9:50 AM by JLee50 in Deal Talk
No, not unless you and your kids are all going to go get FCC licenses.

Doubt it.. I don't know anything about the ham comunity but I know the CB'ers piss all over the spectrum. My uncle had a 3k watt setup in his truck and had to install a bank of batteries in the...

You can transmit to FRS frequencies on this radio, just not legally. The issue being that FRS is limited to .5 watts. This radio exceeds that by a lot even on the lowest transmit power setting. You...

How good are the headsets, I tried one on another baofeng unit, and it was worse than my first.

Wont happen, even if they are on the prowl, watch for idiots walking around your hood with yagi antennas. Those idiots are serious busy-bodies, like the people that walk their dogs off leash - at...
