    Some of the ham clubs around have more equipment to track you down than FCC does-lol

    Should the manufacturer be responsible for the how their product is used in the consumers hands?

    YES .... and no .....

    BY LAW the owner of the radio is 100% responable for illegal use however .....-

    EVERY CB RADIO MUST BE CERTIFIED so it is all ready being done .
    The REASON is CBers are not required to be radio savy. RADIOS by law cannot cover BOTH CB and HAM they must be certified for one or the other.

    AGAIN if it cannot comply it is not leagal on either .

    The we that he is referring to is all the ham radio(licensed) operators. A lot volunteer their time for the ones that want their license. If your come to the ham frequencies then there are rules and regulations to follow. For the ones that refuse to follow the rules, then they have to be prepared to pay the price. If the ham frequencies are not policed then fcc will take them away so we are going to police them. Just get your license and you'll have no problem

    When it gets right down to it--------yeah. It probably WAS a ham that turned the CBer in. I've said MANY times that IF the CBERS/truckers---whatever----would STAY where the h--- they belong, you'd never hear from the hams! BUT NO! "THEY" think they've got special rights to flap their jaws anywhere. And not only THAT, how DARE anyone object to their illegal activities! If the hams object to finding people ON 10 Meters and track them down (they WILL!!!), they are now "snitches" and snobs and "ham crybabies". It depends on what side of the street you're on.

    Amateur radio is WAY more orderly, organized and USABLE BECAUSE THE HAMS THEMSELVES POLICE THE BANDS BY REP0RTING VIOLATORS TO FCC. If you LIKE the mess that is CB radio, one must wonder about the calibre of the people who would "love" such a rat's nest of racket, spattering amplifiers, and DIS-organization. By keeping amateur radio FREE (mostly) of such junk, it is WAY, WAY more fun than that howling, squealing, over-modulated, over-powered mess ever could be.

    BTW, Bruce, I got a QSL card from mainland China the other day. The guy heard me in our little 75 Meter group back in September. Come up and join us sometime; it's 3923 SSB in the mornings from about 6-9:30 AM. I haven't been getting on recently because it's been too COLD down stairs just to fire up the heat for a couple of hours. When it's 15 degrees and snow, well..............you know!:biggrin_2559:

    The Ham bones round these parts"Central Texas" are not the cry babies of the upper east coast.
    Talk with the stations across the nation,they all carry the same opinion.

    The self righteous legal eagles are extremely few and far between in the real world,only time you ever hear them is when their trolling public CB forums.The ones you hear going on witch hunts are after the key down clowns running big power recorders/repeaters that lock channels down.

    Without ham bones there would be no Watergate :biggrin_25525:
