I was looking at buying a BaoFeng UV-5R and getting a larger antenna to mainly listen to local police, radio, and fire bands as its weirdly interesting to me.
I also would like to use it for communication on hunting land and as possibly a SHTF radio to communicate with my family. I currently don’t plan on communicating with anyone else on the device. I plan on only using FMS/GMRS. I will get a license.
My concern is that a lot of what i am seeing online is illegal this and illegal that with FCC arresting you for the slightest error and constant posts about regular ham/cb being a “good ole boys” group and overall being jerks.
- Are these rumors true about the ham/cb radio community?
- Will i get raided for accidentally speaking on the wrong channels or speaking out of turn?
- By just listening with my radio with its illegal antenna will i get tracked down by the FCC; fined, jailed, both?
- Anything else i need to be aware of?
Maybe this sound overtly pussy of me but i prefer to be on the legal side of the law.
