Let me tell you a story that I have debated on telling. A little about me first. I am a man in my 40s, I guess I would say I am a prepper of sorts. For what I don’t know. So I am looking into radios. Amateur radios. I have been looking into stuff for a bit and finally decided I am going to do it. I am going to pick up the hated Baofeng. They are cheap I will start there. Learn. See what it’s all about. Then when I figure everything out I will invest I a real radio.
So I do it. I understand what I am getting into. I understand you can’t use it. All I want to do is learn how to program it. Listen to what’s out there. I have never pushed the ptt button. Not one time.
I spend a couple weeks and teach myself how to program it. How to use Chirp. I am online finding channels and repeaters.
Man I kinda like this. It’s pretty relaxing. I start looking into getting licensed and real radios. I am thinking this could be a good time.
Again I understand I can not use a baofeng and I am not licensed so I can’t do anything. I have never pushed the ptt button…..not once……
So I have a couple questions. I ask on this subreddit. I also ask on a Facebook group.
I get fucking ripped apart…
After stating I am not using the radio I am not going to I am not licensed I am just asking the question.
Ripped apart, threatened, the government will bust down your door you will be put in jail and have 5 to 6 figure fines.
After stating I am not going to use it at all I was just wondering how it worked.
So you know what…..fuck you. I have never met a bigger bunch of dicks in my life.
Fuck you hobby You ever wonder why it’s dying? Because I don’t wonder any more.
I will not be spending one more dollar on this hobby. I have what I need and if the shit ever goes down and the government isn’t around I will use it.
I don’t care if you ban me down vote me call me out in the comments. Do whatever you want. Maybe if you guys were a little more decent you would have more people in this hobby and it wouldn’t be dying.
And I guess I should say there was one helpful person that actually answered my question. To begin his reply to me he started by saying I know I am going to get downvoted and hate for answering.
Good luck all I will keep teaching myself!!!!!!
Obviously fake, lmao
