🚨 Rumor Alert: Is the FCC banning ALL ham radios from Amazon, eBay & Walmart in 2025? Social media is buzzing with claims of a total crackdown on Chinese-made amateur radios like Baofeng and Hytera – but it’s mostly MISINFORMATION! In this video, we break down the REAL FCC enforcement advisory from October 2025: It’s targeting UNAUTHORIZED gear from national security "Covered List" companies (Huawei, ZTE, Hytera) that could spy or disrupt comms. Legit, FCC-certified ham radios for hobbyists? Totally unaffected – keep scanning those bands worry-free!

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? Watch now and join the discussion in comments. Like & subscribe for more FCC updates, ham radio tips, and PRS rule breakdowns!
