Definitely right about that, but I wanted to test it in actual conditions. Used to do quality control work in the factory at one time and learned early that what works in the lab doesn't always work in the field.

Testing a new model by Ranger which will probably come out in January. On Channel 19 we have some clown transmitting a loop of a Tarzan yell. On 17 some guy is continuously transmitting different bird calls. Another moron is calling him a queer and a n#gger. On 15 someone is broadcasting...

Almost right. They still have to comply with the Administrative Procedures Act and their authority is limited to areas authorized by Congress.

First off, the FCC doesn't care about the law. They think they are the law, at least when it comes to communications. Second, you misread the post. I said that maybe they leave only the 10 meters for Amateurs. In any event, it was facetious since the old timer Amateurs working in the FCC are...

Being a lawyer, I am curious as to what court this matter was filed in and what was the interference complaint?

This clown will probably walk on the criminal charges because there really is no state crime here. Annoying phone calls to a business require either obscene language or threats of bodily injury or damage to property. Of course we don't know any more than what is reported, but sounds like there...

You are correct in that you agree to abide by the FCC rules when you use any equipment that is subject to FCC jurisdiction. However, that does make you a licensee. The distinction is critical, since if you are a licensee and break the rules you can be subect to immediate fine. If you are not...

You are not using licensee in the same manner I am. Under the rules, if you are not a "licensee" you must be issued a formal citation before you can be fined unless you are engaged in an activity which requires a license and you don't have one. If you are a licensee and engage in conduct in...

Can't believe this is even being discussed. 47 CFR 95.404. "You do not need an individual license to operate a CB station." See also: FCC: Wireless Services: Citizens Band: CB Home Citizens Band (CB) Citizens Band (CB) Radio Service is a private two-way voice communication service for...

Nice reach. Too bad there is no way that would fly. Fact is, I knew the licensing requirement was abolished. I was being facetious here. Once again the FCC agents apply the wrong procedure.

Just noticed that they issued a Notice of Violation instead of a Citation. A NOV may only issue if the person has a license or is supposed to have a license. In this case, the NOV says the recipient is a "licensee" on the CB. Since when did the FCC start issuing CB licenses???

Maybe the FCC's plan is to keep narrowing the scope of Amateur usage to the point where there is no justification for the frequency allocations. Then the FCC can take everything but one band, reserved for Amateurs. Say the 10 meter band.

Old article calling for testing, which Boeing did and was unable to replicate any claim of intereference. Further, in one instance Boeing bought and tested the same laptop that was suspected of causing intereference, flew the same plane on the same route in the same weather and was able to...
