Illegal cb and amplifier enforcement action in Illinois

[stlouisx50]

HOW is a US agency gonna crack down on a foreign country's folks using radios in their country? IF however they are here in THIS country then they might be able to.

Well then they may as well give up on US citizens , because Mexico is interfering with American communicators if not worse than the people of the US.

While my family took a trip to FL, yes we got the normal CH 6 and CH 11 BS. But even with the high powered radios , it did not interfere with the rest of the CB band. I know many of the southern states have illegal users , yet , I say again, it did not hurt anyone. While it was annoying, so are the people who complain about it.

How many times do you actually hear someone was hurt or a death was caused because of misuse of a cb radio.

No one can help when there is skip. Are you just not supposed to talk on the radio when there is skip? Secondly if people don't talk during skip, you wont know there is skip.

Lame reasoning. Is it okay to speed if you don't hurt anyone? Same difference.

Don't waste your breath. I can already tell you that everyone on RR.com acts like disobeying the FCC is the same as slaughtering a bus load of kittens.

No it's not that bad. BUT if you can't respect the laws how can you respect animals OR uyourself and other people. It's NOT a two way street. [maybe someday child you might understand this]

BUT, there is nothing that will change the minds of some of you so I won't bother anymore. YOU are gonna be dealing with the FCC sooner or later. You DO have my sympathies for your stupidity.

Can I ask you a personal question? Have you ever gone 1mph over the speed limit? How about jaywalking? Had a sip of something alcoholic under age 21? Heck, for that matter, have you ever broken ANY law? Just curious.

If any of those is a yes, then I would ask you the same question. How can YOU respect animals or yourself and other people if you can't respect the law?

If you don't like the law exercise your constitutional right and petition the government to change it, until then just obey it. I've seen a dozen reasons on here why you should but just a bunch of lame excuses why you shouldn't, mostly "it's ok if I don't get caught" or "everyone else is doing(or breaking other laws) so it's ok"

If the federal government can waste their time on the public , they can start with themselves. There are worse crooks compared to those who decide to do stupid things over radio waves.

With all of the re-banding , why not make a new public radio band that actually is open , one that does not interfere with others.

Any ham that does not like this can stay on their ham band.

Wait, we have IP radio communications now. But without cell service you are screwed. So back to open radios......

"With all of the re-banding , why not make a new public radio band that actually is open , one that does not interfere with others."

Because they see what a mess CB is in and they don't want another one. And besides that if they opened up 50 Mhz of bandwidth and 1000 Watts of power there would still be those that wanted 51 Mhz and 10,000 watts. There's no where that they could put a bunch of radio anarchists where they wouldn't cause interference or cook their neighbors or burn their own house down.

Reedeb,
Here we go again different post same replies you know what I mean.....like I said can't fix stupid and you can't teach a arrogant brat anything.

What's your problem with me? Why do you find it necessary to make personal attacks towards me when I'm just posting my opinion? If having an opinion makes me an arrogant brat then so be it.

Can I ask you a personal question? Have you ever cheated on an exam? Have you always told your proffesers the truth about why you need an extention on a paper [and NOT becaus you were out partying all night either]. Have YOU ever broken any laws yourself? Did you ever have a sip of something alcoholic or experiment with drugs? [be thruthfull now]


See how asking personal questions feels? and NC4DX said it earlier and he's correct

Quote "If you don't like the law exercise your constitutional right and petition the government to change it, until then just obey it.

And you ARE arrogant!!

You completely missed the point. I was trying to point out that you act like disobeying any law means that you have no respect for anything. I take it that you've never violated any kind of law. My point was that all of these people that sit around and point fingers usually aren't so innocent themselves.

If you people want to start a flame-war then find someone else, I'm done with this thread. There's no point in arguing to no end on the internet, it's not accomplishing anything.

No boob, I didn't miss anything except YOU not wanting to answer questions either. you need not point ANYTHING out to me child [yes YOU are still a child]

I take it you like to wink, wink, nudge, nudge, at things when it suits YOUR wants, like obeying FCC laws and regulation by generalizing everything else.

EVERYONE breaks a law every now and then, EVERYONE [including YOU ] BUT when it comes to radios, I follow the laws as I don't want to lose my license I worked and studied hard for. [something you will never understand]

Alright. As I said, I'm done with this topic. Go find someone else to criticize, old man.

What I don't understand is why does someone need hundreds of watts to just get on the air and say "audio" or "worldwide?'" This could be accomplished with the legal 5 watts.

I often defend some of the CBers that post, but now I'm starting to see why the ham community and others look down on the CB crowd. I don't really see anything wrong with properly tuning a cb radio to perform at 100% modualtion and legal limit. Many radios, especially in the days when I got started in the 90's, were set way below 5 watts and full modualtion supposedly to make sure they wouldn't leave the factory exceeding FCC limits. With a properly installed antenna and a nice power mic, these radios performed well, even better in a base situation.

I was young too then, and had the "mods" done for extra channels, the big swing mods, etc. I had a linear for a bit and found it messed up the drive throughs at Burger King and McDonalds, set off car alarms, etc. It didn't help my signal as much as I thought it would.

As I got older and smarter, I realized a lot of this stuff was dumb, and the CB band actually deteriorated to the point where only morons were on that wouldn't answer you anyway. What's the point of the radio if all you're going to do is say stupid things and not answer anyone?

As far as those who don't understand why it's wrong, eventually you will grow up too and understand.

And the FCC- I think they actually encourage it now that they have type-accepted radios like the DX 959. It comes with variable power, talkback, roger beep, frequency counter. Why do you need variable power unless you're running a linear? Why do you need a freq. counter unless you're expanding the frequencies?

SO before we say shame on the guy modifying his radio, we should also ask why the FCC is allowing these radios.

AND- with reviews of CB radios like this on the web, why doesn't the FCC do something about these guys?

Cause its fun! Radio is fun,people please dont verbally beat each other up,we all like radios,dont we?

To begin where do you see your name in my post to reedeb?

I was making a comment to him,if you feel the comment applies to you then stop acting in that manner,matter of fact when I or anyone mentions illegal radio use you are the first one to comments and use childish behavior and call people names so who is the child is this case YOU...have a good day!!!
