    Remember when operating any CB radio required an FCC license? FCC gave up on that one. It got overwhelmed with impossible enforcement. As it should have.

    Back in the 70's and I think into the early 80's.

    It was the late 70s when it changed, also about the time they added channels and went from 12 to 23.

    So, a radio that can send/receive outside the ARS needs a governor installed. Next will be motor vehicles with governor installed to limit speed to comply with posted speed limits. .22LR can go a mile. Need a sensing system in all .22 caliber guns to preclude angles that would achieve the mile.

    Yes, but they have the right to regulate the airwaves because you have no right to communicate with anyone in particular.

    Recall when Channel 6 TV audio was at 87.7FM. You could listen to the news while commuting (if your car radio went down that far). FCC claimed it needed the channel and associated bandwidth for other purposes, I believe having to do with homeland security or some such.

    Dial 87.7FM and it is silent. If they are using it as stated, it is a process devoid of intelligence. (audio).

    Meanwhile, advertisers paying the station to reach viewers/listeners are getting less for their money. If advertising works, they should have seen a drop when 87.7 dropped.

    hmm... i want.
    what is this thing and please provide more information.

    is it just a handheld tx/rx, is it a scanner? i've got a few radioshack handheld radios, only ever seem to use them for weather channels.
    what frequencies does this thing handle? i've got some chinese radios that do several am/fm/shortwave bands and my rtl-sdr handles just about everything else, got an upconverter for it too so it goes way down there.

    i'd like to eventually get something up into the 5ghz range or more, with more bandwidth.
    There is no way to make it out alive...

    So, is the fcc going to have a buy back program?
    That would be great! Getting all those dangerous radios off the streets!
