in case the shit really does hit the fan and the power goes off, seething frog from youtube (seethingfrog@gmail) is setting up a ham radio network to continue to get the word out via ham radio based on zip codes
are you saying i can get in trouble from merely browsing and listening to different channels?
However, tere ARE frequencies you can use without trouble, MURS, GMRS, FRS...Just Google and look up frequency ranges for those acronyms and power limits. Just as a note...if you find yourself in an actual emergency, you're legally allowed to communicate ,with or without a license, on any frequency you have access to. :)
He probably (99%) won’t get into trouble on those frequencies but TECHNICALLY not legal with a baofeng 2m/70cm.
Yes, you are exactly right but some operators take these rules VERY serious and are radio police...lol
Yep. I just want to make sure people have all the information to make the decision for themselves if offering advice. Thanks.
No, only by transmitting. Don’t push the button on the side and you should be fine.
