I was listening to the ham radio operators on my scanner tonight. They
were complaining about businesses using family service radios and
frequencies. They said that it's against the law and against fcc rules
for businesses to operate on fr frequencies with family service radios.
The hams want to report the businesses to the FCC for illegally
operating their businesses on family radio service frequencies with
family service radios instead of using business band frequencies and
business band radios.
Now everyone, correct me if I'm wrong in this sentence, but I thought
that the FCC rules say that it's perfectly legal for businesses to
ooperate their businesses on family radio service frequencies with
family service radios.
I don't operate or own a business at all. I use mine for family
communications. Just in case any of the hams try and say that I have
an ulterior motive by and from owning my own business.
I was interested in all kinds of radio ever since I was little, There
was even a time when I was looking forwards to getting my ham liscense.
But all of you hams turned me off of ham radio completely.
And the people you're wanting to report as operating illegally aren't
even operating on any of your ham bands at all!!!
They're operating on the family radio service frequencies. And
operating legally.
At least, if I remember the FCC rules correctly.
