Ham Radio 2.0

Dive into the heated FCC debate on deleting rules for GMRS repeater linking! In this video, we break down exclusive Reply Comments from a 50+ year telecom veteran and physician opposing the removal of 47 CFR §95.333(c), §95.1733(a)(8), and §95.1749. Discover the 1976 origins of the PSTN interconnection ban, how it prevents "common carrier" violations and "theft of service" under Title 18 USC §1029, and why allowing wide-area networks could monopolize limited GMRS spectrum—threatening public safety and emergency radio access. Is deregulation a win for hams or a disaster for shared bands?
