What Frequencies Are Best To Stay Private But Not Get Into Trouble With The FCC?

- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In this video I answer an email question from my new best friend regarding what frequency he should use to transmit on with his Baofeng UV-5R that will not get him into trouble with the FCC or attract any attention - So i explain the different frequency ranges and frequency-bands that most hand-held radios like the Baofeng UV-5R radio can transmit on which are ham, GMRS, LMR/Business frequencies, and MURS. I also mention CB radio and its importance.

You can try and read on me lol FAFO too bad you have to air your politics on your channel with Kamala pictures etc. but that’s your freedom given to you by the 1st amendment and protected by the 2nd. On to other channels
Oh my goodness, you are so smart you figured me out! But, before you go, you should probably watch this video so you can see how how smart you actually are: ua-cam.com/video/LxGBAe1fUV4/v-deo.html
No body cares!
Lmao 🤣 “Federal Airwaves Government Service” it took a minute but I got it! 😂😂
OMG... so good.... LOL!
lmaoooo
I bet they cross swords with the Federal Anti-Gun Services
Love it! Hahahaha
"Tread On Them"
Yes. RIP Marvin Heemeyer

Well if SHTF the Ham Karens can come and find me cuz I'll be using their precious hammie channels without a license.
I like how his "friend" went from Thomas to Tony back to Thomas then Timothy and Troy then Todd and Troy again 😂
Toby is a good man.
He was probably frequency hopping.
Hope Trey got the answer he was looking for.
he has a lot of friends...
I though he said Tammy
In plain simple You ARE allowed to DO anything you want, but your never allowed to get CAUGHT !
Pretty much
Yep like running moonshine, its not illegal until you get caught
Sure if yoour want to pay a steep fine. And by steep i mean over several tens of thousands. You can transmit anywhere. Youve been warned though!
Do no harm, cause no loss.
It’s not illegal because it’s not a law because congress never voted on this stuff. It’s a violation of a rule, it’s not criminal at all. They’re decrees and edicts not laws
Rather than saying "irregardless", you might consider saying "irregardlessly". It is useful because it annoys those who say you should say "regardless" by another whole level. I like annoying people, and I appreciate your efforts.
Dammit! I got beat out on a pinned comment by another "some people" idiot... irregardlessly, I will somehow survive. I hope.
@@JamesSchenck can't beat the pinned comment - homie doesn't realize "comment baiting" was spelled out to him and he kept playing the game
I don't buy the "no such word" dogma. Language evolves. The "rules" change over time. New words and modifications to words make it into the lexicon every year.
@@joewoodchuck3824 Have some pesegetti and chill. We get it. If we can identify indiscrimently, then words are also irregardlessly dribble. @JamesSchneck I used it in a sentence!!!!!
Ah, pettiness, the last refuge of idiocy 😉
Federal Airways Government Service GOT me 🤣🤣🤣
He was so deadpan saying it that I thought it was true, but then I spelled it out in my head and went to see if anyone else noticed.
Love the Killdozer in the background
A GMRS radio with a 5 element yagi antenna, on low power, is directional enough to null out 70% of anyone listening near by.
Love the intro, tribute to El Rushbo.
Killdozer is legendary
dude threw a tantrum because he couldn't dump his human waste in a creek, then died. he's an insane person, not a folk hero. laws are frequently unjust, but not those laws that regard proper disposal of human waste.
Methinks that was only the straw that broke the mule's vetebral column. @@cmaylo
@@cmaylo Thank you for misrepresenting the situation entirely - do bootheels taste good to you?
They told him he had to do x and then wouldn't let him do x because there was also option y but since they didn't control that option directly they had to do something to control it indirectly and that led to a lot back 'n' forth where they kept trying to extort Mr. Heemeyer because they wanted his property for themselves which is what ultimately led to his justifiable "tantrum", as you put it
So now you’re meeting strange men over email too.
I'm hoping to get someone in DC that will get rid of every 3 letter agency in America...and soon
Help is not coming.
Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
I have seven bf-888 for the kids and came from a 5-day camping trip. Channel 15 simplex was our base camp frequency. Every day for five days straight this channel was burnt up and terrorized by a group 7-8 year old boys.
My comment to show support and Appreciation for your Video is as follows. -Big Thumbs Up
I agree with Mr Hyde. Just commenting to support the channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for not making a video on any new radios!! I’m up to 36 handheld, 5 mobile, and 1 base radio setups. Im shocked I’m not single yet. Honestly tho, Randy is the entire reason I’m into GMRS. I use GMRS waaaaay more than ham.
Thank goodness someone said it…. I have the same habit… stop it please…

federal airwaves government services. i see what you did there. 😏
Needing permission to use a radio is insane to me. Why no license for cell phones? They do more and have a greater potential for abuse.
Because you’re not broadcasting to all the other cell phones.
Cell phones are licensed, the licenses are held by the cell phone companies and they pay our government overlords a lot of money for the blocks of frequencies they are allowed to use.
I did the MARS mod to my ham radios, makes life much easier.
Yes!
That was educational with a hint of sarcasm.
In before "some people" get here
If any show up, if I buy two Baofeng UV5R radios, is my ham radio call sign for the second radio UV5R-2? Which one is 2?
I’ll buy a GMRS UV-5R just to tick off “some people”. 🤣
GMRS users can walk/ Run around the block (without their 80 yo Mom's permission)
Sad HAM's cant't leave their shack without their EZ Scooter.
Bro, I was using MURS privately until you posted this video. Now everyone in my area is on these channels!
Hahahaha! You should not of told them of NOTARUBICON! YOU DID IT UPON YOURSELF!
😛
Thanks for remembering "the dozer"
In defense of that agency that assigns frequencies and tries to keep the air waves spurious free. Can you imagine over hearing this (cause we did); "United Flight 1260, SOCAL, (the en-route air traffic control center on 136.25 mHz) ..."Traffic, your altitude, six miles-a 737 - for traffic avoidance turn now to heading.....(Interruption)....'Hello Frank.. Paul here, what are you and Mary doing tonight ?.....(Someone not caring about their frequency useage)
There is a good reason why we must not have a casual approach to just using any frequency we so choose. Many handhelds will receive the air band and are modified for other reasons even though the modulation techniques are different (AM vs. FM)
Ya gotta be careful and cautious out there. Enjoy your radios.
Unfortunately, your message will be lost on the vast majority of his viewers, because they tend to be a selfish lot and unable to think beyond their own personal space bubble. They have no concept of the need to regulate the airwaves to maintain a level of order to allow useful communication, but then get annoyed when someone tramples their broadcasts the way they trample “some people’s” broadcasts.
Isn't MURS what those wise guys gave jesus for his birthday
Yes. Gold, FCC & MURS
Oh...that's how it's spelled. I kinda thought it was frequencies for discussing camel flu.
Edit: MERS
@@morthomer5804 Grin!
Frankensteins and MURS
Love the background. RIP Uncle Martin
Mr Nota you're back, I was getting worried that you had died like iridium242, I'm soooo happy to see you again
So, I have my HAM and GMRS licenses. I am also in Law Enforcment. I have all of the above-mentioned frequencies programmed in my FT5D, UV5R and TID3 radios. No one knows what radio I am using..... :)
Your department must still use analog frequencies then. Most departments have gone encrypted in frequency ranges outside of a majority of commercially available radios.
Me too. Except the law enforcement part. 😄
@@nimblehealer199 In Allegheny county PA (Pittsburgh and her suburbs) are STILL 99% unscrambled Analog UHF-FM! A UV-5R would cover it!
So….do you just arrest yourself then? 🤣🤣🤣
@@nimblehealer199 I have a question about this. If a police department moves from analog to a digital encrypted frequency, I am assuming this means that you can't buy a scanner and tune into those frequencies? So that would mean gone are the days of listening in with a scanner once they all switch over? Or do they make newer scanners that can received these too?
What's the frequency Kenneth?
10 seconds in and thumbs up. Solely for the Killdozer flag.
CB radio is far from dead. Talk on mine everyday all across the world when skip is rolling
That will die out soon. No more skip for years.
In the Uk things are even more confukulated as yours in the Usa.... But tbh we just keep away from the busy places on the conspeculum..!
Just watched a killdozer video last night. That guy was a true legend!
I'm hearing people on the ham bands using expired call signs. Some of them are probably old timers who forgot to renew after 10 years.
Same ones that voted democrat after they died...
We hand an old timer with a W#xxx 1x3 call go without renewing his license. Well, two years passed, and a local recently licensed Tech saw a 1x3 call come available, and grabbed it as a vanity call. (All 1x3 calls had been issued.) Oh, the fireworks on the local repeater were epic...
Wait, what? The Federal Airwaves Government Service was established 200 years ago? I had no idea. The things you can learn on this channel is boundless.Thanks for all your hard work my friend.
Thank you for all you have taught me about GMRS and radio in general. I am new to the hobby and your perspective and sense of humor have both entertained and educated me.
Yes, he is quite knowledgeable and entertaining.
I transmit on 6969 talking about my PHD

I hate to be realistic here, but this was a very informative video.
Came for the content. Stayed for the pinned comment.
Irregardless is a double negative meaning the opposite of your intent. I'm being extra nice too.
Oh my gosh, you must be so smart, we are all very impressed!
But if you want to impress us even more, go look up the words "sarcasm", irony, and "idiot-trolling", and see if you can wrap your head round any of those..
Because everyone else here "gets it" but it seems to have gone way over your head.. I'm being extra nice too.
Excellent summary of FCC nitpicking rules about what radios can or cannot be used on specific frequencies. Great channel. New subscriber. 🤠
my love of your content is only outshined by my love of your trolling. it is what keeps me coming back like the smoothbrain i am.
Hide your antenna if you run over 2KW
The only time FCC came was when I was 23 and was running 4 x2879 into 16 2879 into 64 2879’s
The beam was low, 2 ft off the ground, 4 element.
No entry without warrant , no backyard entry. Plus I was a senior in ROTC and loved German shepherds as a combat vet I was into tactical shit and German shepherds are on the list.
I’m just a C Suite exec now, I enjoy breaking rules by decryption, not transmission.
How can someone talk so much and say so little?
You have the best printed tee-shirts!!! And after almost 2 years, I just noticed your link to buy them. Yup, I'm a little slow when it comes to S**t like that..
GMRS Got My Rights Secured.👍👍
I'm sure Teddy got the message. I mean, Tyrone can't be that stupid. You explained everything to Theodore quite well. But, if Terry doesn't get it, he can always play this video back. Right, Thaddeus? lol
Its Timmy! 😢
Walmart, YMCA, and some drive-thrus near me use MURS.
So you can use MURS to meet "anonymous men" at the YMCA? 😉
@@v0n1b0 no thanks
The store I work for use Motorola two ways that operates in the 900MHz range
Wal*Mart is in fact the BIGGEST user of MURS.
@@jamesslick4790
Pretty sure they're moving away from that, maybe on a store by store basis?
That background needs to be a T-shirt
What’s the Grindr frequency? Feel the need to reach around.
Federal Airwaves Government Service... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your my favorite you tuber that talks regular like
The Rush Limbaugh references never get old! 😂😂😂
Extra points for the Limbaugh nod at the beginning.
I lay awake wondering when the FCC will take me down in a pre dawn raid ever since I accidentally keyed up my illegal GMRS radio.
" Overlords of the FCC's" 🤣🤣🤣 That made my day.
I bet the Spam, I mean Ham people absolutely hate LORA.
If anyone gets in trouble with the FCC, just say "What's the Frequency Kenneth?" and the FCC will back off.
CB is dead, I guess, except for those Freebander freqs above the CB channels. Those are hopping. They’re usually in Spanish, but still hopping.
Randy forgot the marine frequencies which is basically CB radio on water but virtually unused out in the hinterland. No license required and Baofengs can be programmed to marine freqa.
But, only legal to use if you are on a body of water...
Why people are moving away from CB?, its license free HF
They use to talk about a 13 year solar cycle on 11 meter. 5 years ago the radios were just dead. (Which I liked) The last 2 years, skip has been insane. I'm starting to notice a reduction in skip the last 4 months. Another 2 years. locals will be talking again.
Where I live next to the Texas coast near Corpus Christi, we used to have three FCC listening station in this area. Due to government cuts we have none now, I would say you shouldn’t have a problem with point-to-point VHFUHF. HS frequencies might be a different deal
Wow from 3 to none . No money because we gave it to Urkraine
The empire is collapsing
😊 I liked the similar El Rushbo entrance into the video.
Thankfully due to our gooberments regulations I’m just a voyeur to what’s being transmitted. I have no wishes to interfere. CB channels I’m game when I feel talkative.
Please don't say "irregardless". It hurts the ears of English speakers.
So it’s working.
Nicely done, Randolfo
Man… you’re awesome! Thanks for making HAM / radio in general more accessible to everyone!
We bought a bunch of Boateng UV-5R and registered a frequency for our events with our local radio authorities. Lots of love from Germany!
FCC rules are more like suggestions
More of a guideline than a rule: ua-cam.com/video/ux8nTqyB6Bk/v-deo.html
Federal Airwaves Government Service!!! ROFL @ caps only!!
Really digging the porn hub logo influence of the text in thumbnail
MURS is my favorite. We use it on the farm. I think we are the only people that ever used it.
Walmart uses Murs
Rock solid and informative video. A best seller!
Best radio channel on UA-cam
Agreed
You are very boring 😂😂😂
I have a lot of fun talking to people with my ham radio to people with 2 pac radios or gmrs radios or to the warehouse worker in town using what i can only imagine is a lmr radio. I dont see what the issue is. The radio works fine. Cant wait to get my antenna up.
Well okay then, using the input frequency of a repeater for simplex doesn’t make sense to me, however I’m not the sage overlord of all thing s GMRS as you are. So thank you for taking time off your official duties to respond to my inquiry. It’s humbling to be in the presence of greatness.
You have a friend 😂😂😂
this is a very good video,it explains things very well,also there are vhf itinerant frequencies 154.600 and 154.570 that are limited to 2 watts,and the fcc,s are unclear about what radios are ok,thank you for the radio videos
If there weren't fairly strict rules regarding how people conduct themselves on public airwaves, virtually all radio services would quickly become unusable. Even people who can't pass an amateur radio license exam should be able to comprehend that.
You would think “some people” would grasp that concept, but the comment section of his videos pretty consistently demonstrates that is not the case. “Some people” do not seem to grasp the self-destructive nature of their selfish behavior when the rest of the “some people” engage in the same selfish behavior.
Federal Airways Government Service 🤣 5:10
Yep, the chicken band is dead. I dont spend as much or more time on me cb than me ham rigs.🙃 personally i just plain Like radio. I say have fun and dont be a mudduck or a sad ham. Have fun.
I dislike the term “sad hams” tbh, it sounds a little silly. We just always called those operators lids? Seems like there’s already a word for them.
Best thing to do is look up contests on ham bands then pirate a callsign and go to town. Rare ones the best for getting all the sad hams to get excited. See points are important so each time you take away some for being bogus you make more sad sad hams. They won't have a enough depends on hand to handle their frustration. Imagine the smell.
Love the channel and your delivery but boy, that was Hard to listen to for "some people"
MURS is used by dog tracking systems produced by Garmin and is very popular in the southeastern US where hounds are used for hunting (deer, bear, raccoon, rabbit...). If you are in these areas in the fall there's a good chance you will hear strange rhythmic sounds on these channels, which are the signals the dog collars transmit with location information.
On other radio service you might want to consider is marine band. The "rules" do not require a license, but that the radio is be used on the water.
Check the fcc license database to see what the spectrum is like in your area and find holes…just saying
Ambu-lance. Also pretty sure not a single person has been arrested for breaking these rules since like.... almost ever, if ever.
The FCC does not have any powers of arrest. I have made multiple videos about the lack of FCCs enforcement since ~2012.
@@TheNotaRubicon I already knew that... hence my comment.
The bonus card is that we can all use the "sad hams" call signs to.......
oops
Federal Airwaves Government Service LMAO
"I don't care about what the government says and do whatever the F I want to do but what channels won't I get in trouble on?". Well Thomas if you don't care what the govt says then use whatever channel you like. DAMN THE MAN!! LOL
Great videos for this new BaoFeng UV5R owner! Simple, to the point, clear, concise and no music!! Thank you for these amazing videos!
i have the MURS and FREENET channels savec on my talkies, I checked there is nothing in these channels, far from 145 so it's neat. Otherwise just the PMR446, or equivalent. idk.
yeah rip the CB
