Ham Radio Myths & GMRS Lies With @HamRadioCrashCourse - GMRS & Ham Radio Mythbusters Edition

Video Description

Ham Radio Crash Course & NotARubicon Mythbuster Edition! I talk with Josh from @HamRadioCrashCourse about lies and myths in the ham radio, GMRS and CB radio world - we talk about why so many people spread these myths and lies in the GMRS, amateur radio and CB radio world, and we go through several of the most common lies and myths that ham radio, GMRS and CB radio people spread. We talk about transmitting without an antenna, transmitting with a high SWR, whether or not more power is the best way to talk farther with your ham radio or GMRS radio, we talk about the FCC being able to enter your home at any time to "inspect your equipment" and if having an amateur or GMRS license gives the FCC and federal government the right to do that. We talk about talking on a Baofeng UV-5R or any ham radio without a license and what will happen. Some other topics include: remote kill switch on cheap Chinese ham radios and GMRS radios, can the Chinese government listen to what you talk about on your GMRS or ham radio, does the FCC know what kind of radio you are using, will coiling your coax damage your GMRS, CB or ham radio, the ham radio hobby is only for chatting with anonymous men, can ham radio operators track you down while you are driving, can you transmit without an FCC license in an emergency, will you go to jail or be fined for interfering with police or other emergency services, does the FCC monitor everything on the airwaves looking for people breaking FCC rules, can a roger-beep damage a repeater, is the ham-radio hobby dying and if so, why, are Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu ham radios better than a Baofeng and, who is out there spreading all of these lies and rumors in the ham and amateur radio world? ►Want to help support my channel?
