Not recent (15 os years ago?) a shop renting radios to a movie crew programmed them in the ham band. When contacted about this by local hams, the movie group and the rental shop both said buzz off.
When the FCC stepped in, the movie set said "they are licensed" and pointed at the shop. **BOTH** were provided "show cause" letters and subsequently fined. It's not only the programmer of the radios that risks fines and other action from the FCC. -- mailto:[email protected] Oz POB 93167 Southlake, TX 76092 (Near DFW Airport)
