When your luck runs out

You sign a agreement to allow inspection of your station when you get your license of use a CB radio .....

Your arguments are with HER and the FCC since I do not make the rules ...

Since you believe that many Vietnam vets are left wing democrats feel free to believe it just don't tell many of them this since you will find many even 40 years later will not allow the Vet of our current wars to be treated as pot smoking baby killers like many of my fellow vets were much less DNC members or worse supporters ...

Sorry again but I have been a republican all my life and served my country with honor and support those who continue to do ..... as many fellow Vietnam vets did more than ½ a lifetime ago and the young are doing today.

 

You are wasting your time level1. I have tried to explain this as well as state the subject was not, is not, and has not been whether I agree or disagree with whether or not they are allowed to inspect your station. Nowhere in this thread have I ever one time made a statement of my opinion on this particular subject yet bruce is doggedly stuck defending their right to inspect, does not matter that at no time in any of my comments this was a point of contention. All bruce is doing is reinforcing my comment that no matter how many times he reads my words he has zero concept of what I was saying nor the intent of any comments I made. This is truly an example of beating a dead horse further exemplified by his continual need to defend his service record which at no time has been brought up by anyone other than bruce himself.

Pointless debate.

My comment maybe he would be happier in a Marxist regime is principled upon his continual perpetration of the viewpoint that A - you get your 'rights' from a bureaucrat, and B - he defends the FCC prosecution of a man based upon the evidence that equipment was 'warm to the touch'. This is a travesty of law and justice further exaggerated by the punishment not fitting the crime. 10,000 dollars would destroy virtually any honest regular citizen and this amount is supposedly based upon the perceived 'harm' done by the defendant. Any American defending this position belongs in Cuba, Iran, or in general whichever fascist country which suits your taste in climate. What you did 40 years ago for your country is no defense for positions you take towards basic civil rights many decades later.

 

I tell you guys this, not now or ever did I ever sign anything allowing anyone to inspect my gear. I don't care who it is, they need to show me a warrant before entering my house and inspecting any radio gear I might have.

 

Thank you Bruce and all the other vets for your service.

 

Running power on a base station pissing off the neighbors is just asking for trouble. Back in the day of having too much fun the base was a tweaked old school GE that has an excellent sound to it through a Realistic antenna. Just enough to get out and talk locally. If somebody wanted to talk smack that is what the mobile was for.

 

YOU agree to follow FCC rules and if you don't like it turn in your licenses ...

 

Morning Rat .....

You have the right to refuse and theey have the right to fine you ....



Frequently Asked Questions Related to Residential Inspection of Radio Equipment by the FCC




Q: Why must operators of radio frequency devices allow the FCC to inspect their equipment?

A: The Commission must ascertain essential facts pertaining to the operation of a station which may be vital to the resolution of a number of questions, including interference problems involving public safety. For this reason, the FCC must be able to check all covered equipment that have the potential to emit radio frequencies. Section 303(n) of the Communications Act gives the FCC this authority.



Q: What happens if I do not allow the FCC agent to inspect my equipment?

A: Failure to allow inspection forecloses the opportunity to resolve the problem. Thus, refusal to allow inspection is a serious challenge to the Commission's authority to inspect radio stations and is a violation of the Rules. Such a refusal may lead to revocation of a license, maximum monetary forfeiture, or other Commission sanctions.



Q: The FCC Agent standing at my door does not have a search warrant, so I don't have to let him in, right?

A: Wrong. Search warrants are needed for entry involving criminal matters. One of the requirements as a licensee, or non-licensee subject to the Commission's Rules, is to allow inspection of your radio equipment by FCC personnel. Whether you operate an amateur station or any other radio device, your authorization from the Commission comes with the obligation to allow inspection. Even radio stations licensed under a "blanket" rule or approval, such as Citizen's Band (CB) Radio, are subject to the Commission's inspection requirement.

 

I don't see incriminate in the rules ...

 

What are they going to fine me for???? I don't let them in, they can't see what I have, they can not prove what I have.

See an intruder is an intruder in my book. They walk in without my say so and I am not going to be held responsible for my actions.

I am in a bad mood lately so my actions might be harsh if someone thinks they are going to come in my house without a warrant.
