[Elecraft] Waaay OT: A new kind of QRM to be aware of ... warning issued by FCC today

[Louandzip]

 Yeah.  It's out there in the public eye already, whether legit or not.  To many people, any civilian with a HT is a ham. They don't necessarily make distinctions between Amateur Radio, CB, GMRS, FRS etc.

Best to cite and enforce existing laws than to create more laws and restrictions that will only affect law abiding citizens.

 There was an article on the front page of today's Washington Post that described people going to DC being assisted with their communications by "Ham Radio Operators". There was also much footage of the incident at the Capitol of people with HTs hangin off of their belts.. 
Been a lot of Baofengs advertised on "prepper" sites past few years too.

So...the FCC *specifically* cites only amateur and personal radio services as illegal for use in crime.

I wonder how long the list is of radio services that ARE FCC APPROVED for use in crime?

Silly nonsense this all is.  It does not bring credit to anyone calling attention to this total non-problem.
