Comment on Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoNot gonna lie it sounds like it’d be very cool for about 2s if that happened. Y’know until I died and stuff, but glowing radio! /jk
Nah I figured if I was going to be literally burned it would have happened by now lol, I was mostly kidding on that part and also offering my hands on expertise that I haven’t been burned yet at all.
But yeah if they haven’t realized I’m using a baofeng on totally legal freqs yet something tells me they won’t find spurious transmissions. Still though, while I’m a fan of breaking dumb rules I’m also a fan of following the ones that make sense and I wouldn’t want to actually cause anyone issues, so while I may be running it on a redacted frequency (maaaaaaaybe at .5w higher than the fcc would like) I’d like to do what I can to make sure it doesn’t cause real issues for people (and so far it seems it has not, but maybe I need to analyze the spectrum.)
