FCC Enforcement, tasty, tasty enforcement….

[mmckenna]

A fine example of stupidity + programming software = FCC comes knocking. Would love to hear how this ham operator tries to justify what he's done.

Someone made an oops.......

 

[mmckenna]

Not sure how else to get people to understand why you NEVER, NEVER, NEVER clone a radio ID, never mind setting up a radio to affiliate on someone else's system. This shows that the individual had zero understanding of what he was doing.

I would like to have seen the look on the individuals face when they "pinged" his radio.

Pretty sure this was discussed at length in a thread on QRZ. Went on for weeks. Check out post 467.

I know nothing about NAS, which is why I stick to receiving devices. I see no need for risk like this.

It's +1 to RadioPeen, tho...

No one ever got in trouble with the FCC or any other law enforcement entity for programming a scanner.
About damn time (so says Lizzo) that the FCC take action on this whacker nonsense. It puts safety of legitimate users at risk, nevermind this can also be a state crime with actual prison time in many jurisdictions.

I love the fact that quite a few of us have had conversations with this dumb dumb and knew this would eventually end up happening.

98% of IMT "COML's" end up fulfilling their predicted whackerdom it seems.

NAS has a new meaning
"now about sentencing"

I'm not knowledgeable on trunked systems, but any reason why the system operators didn't have the primary radio turned off and an inhibit sent to the clone?

In a perfect world, this is how it would be done.

In whacker world, he probably cloned a console ID or rarely used ID that belongs to someone that is not so easy to get in touch with to make sure their radio is currently turned off. Think Deputy Chief at a large FD or Major at a large Sheriff Office.

When I catch a clone, I capture the legit subscriber, reprogram with new ID, and leave the clone on, to watch it. and gather evidence. Every OSW received is an access attempt and a charge.
