  • My stepkid had one of these exact ones. He pulled it out and the outside sleeve detached.

    The internals on these are incredibly unsafe. There’s a very high chance you can rip it out, and the tines will remain plugged in, with nothing to grab onto to remove them. The tines themselves are only pinched internally by a weak little bit of metal to connect to the rest of it, not even soldered.
















  • It’s illegal to transmit music

    True, for obvious reasons

    it’s illegal to transmit anything encrypted unless you’re controlling a satellite

    True, it helps to ensure nothing illegal is going on and enforce keeping commercial interests out. It’s a self regulating space, one of the only cases I know of that tends to work due to there being no monetary interests allowed. The point is to communicate information, not hide it.

    it’s illegal to transmit anything for commercial purposes.

    True, the whole point is to keep commercial interests out. That’s what “amateur” means.

    illegal to transmit anything on a regular basis that could reasonably be communicated some other way.

    False. This is for something like a non-profit wanting to use radios for their operations, they should be steered toward another service like gmrs, FRS, murs, etc. instead of amateur radio.
