IMO, it would be reasonable to ban these mass-market ham radio transceivers like the ones mentioned in the article (Switzerland banned most of them). 99% of the people buying them aren't ham radio operators, and their output filters are so bad that you need to mod them to make them acceptable.

That's how it was with model airplanes, before the big drone hype happened - there was a small community of experienced people who would play by the rules and police themselves.
- Lucky225 8y agoThe problem is the 'ban' bans ANY radio that is simply CAPABLE of transmitting outside the ham bands, not just the baofengs.
