- pxmpxm 4y agoGuessed ITAR ever before reading the link. I've personally run across a couple of random things that fall under ITAR: the FLIR system in my car is highly locked down (cameras > 9fps are in scope) the military arctic weather jacket that I use when shoveling snow (ECWCS... warmest thing I've ever owned)
- hanafudafan 4y agoIt's OK, somebody saved it and put it on IPFS.
- yummypaint 4y agoShould this really require export control? It's only standard consumer electronics doing the heavy lifting. The military equivalent of this kind of system is orders of magnitude more capable in every way to the extent that it seems silly. It also makes people less likely to obey the rules in the future if the govt is constantly crying wolf about this stuff. Export controls aren't supposed to be something that hobbyists can accidentally run afoul of. Seems like the rules need an update. Anyone know who to lobby about this? Office of the president?
- sinuhe69 4y agoPerhaps the law text was so vague that even passive radar system as this are on the radar?
- rkwasny 4y agoDamn, I wanted to buy one, too late :( It's an amazing piece of hardware, you can mount it on a car and drive around looking for interesting places with RF emissions
