Comment on why dont android phones have a bios like computers and be able to load a generic arm linux iso or windows one,or be easily rooted?
I can spend $20 right now and buy a ham radio that I have full control over and no license to operate. This ain’t it.
Ham radio requires a license. You may be thinking of other services like gmrs . We get the point though.
Don’t need a license to have the radio or even to use it to listen. Only need a license to transmit.
Their point is they can buy the radio and use it do to things they aren’t allowed to, so why aren’t those devices subject to the same restrictions as cell phones
That also depends on where you are located. Some countries are twitchier about citizens having radio equipment than others.
Correct, but to be fair they did say “to operate” which should be taken as transmitting.
…yes.
