I think its mostly people with Baofengs operating on MURS and GRMS bands. The prepper and tactical larper forums all talk about how to setup a Baofeng for unlicensed use at these bands. I hope all hams out there do their best to help monitor our airwaves and report any abuse.
- syedkarim 6y agoThere should be bounties for logging/recording unauthorized use in amateur or licensed bands.
- rmason 6y agoIf it's unlicensed use then why blame the hams? Restrict sales of radios to only licensed hams. There is a precedent here. CB'ers used to buy ham radio amplifiers and use them illegally. The ham band of 10 meters was close enough to the CB 11 meter band it could be done with little change. So manufacturers at the behest of the FCC started removing 10 meters from linear amplifiers. If you showed proof of licensing you could get a plugin to add back the 10 meter band.
- moftz 6y agoI'd prefer if radios meant for ham usage just stuck to the ham bands. If you want to build your own to tx/rx across everything, go ahead. My Baofeng lets me tx on all kinds of frequencies that I'm not licensed for but my Yaesu properly locks me out from transmitting anywhere that isn't 2m ham or 70cm ham.
