Here, go whine to these sources then about how we need to abide by Part 95 until the Fuhrer of FCC decides they want to get off their bureaucratic, doughy, well paid asses to make a common sense ruling that it seems that only yourself and a literal handful of others have an insistence of following but not demanding a change. Then there's those of us that demand a change and get ignored. The rest fall under the "use common sense" rule which multiple others here have confirmed the FCC even advising.

I can keep going with the links but "Google is your friend".
So please tell me then under your strict understanding of the laws how this computes then:
1) Part 90 service in VHF is 150-170MHz range, of which MURS (a Part 95 service) falls into with VERY strict emissions guidelines and literally adjacent to Part 90 frequencies but a Part 90 radio is "illegal"?
2) Part 90 service in UHF spans from 450-500MHz (depending on metro region), and includes GMRS which is a Part 95 service? Again as point 1, with Part 90 frequencies right above and below them and with GMRS even being wideband still so the necessity for proper functioning equipment becomes even more crucial. And again, Part 90 radios are not good enough for use?
3) Amateur radio falls under Part 97 ruling BUT we are allowed to use modes and emissions which are ONLY available on your much-loathed Part 90 radios. Aren't hams AND the FCC in violation then??
4) By the current NIFOG, Marine band frequencies are important to program into radios for interoperability and disaster communications especially for regions close to waterways. The NIFOG ALSO includes GMRS and MURS frequencies which are assumedly to be programmed into Part 90 radios in those events. And before you start with the "well it's an emergency" line - these are pre-planned protocols which means if it's THAT illegal, they'd change the rulings to follow SOP better.
So there we are. Part 90 equipment is not only in use but by FEDERAL guidance and procedure "illegally" in use on the "wrong part services" by your definition.
I can go all day on this - and for one specific reason. I follow and abide by FCC and FAA regulations for transmitters and stations for a living, including licensing, construction permits, license modifications, and other things that go past "casual" use. So sling mud all you want - your "because the rule said so" is the reason why our country is in complete **** status and people like you are too damn spineless to do anything about it. Those "rules" are the same ones that imposed most of the second amendment violating rules that have existed for years and more recently a president that trampled on his executive privileges without anyone opposing him. So while you're scraping together your next half-baked rebuttal, I'll enjoy my evening.
