Re: [BVARC] Part 90 for Beofeng HT

[Robert Polinski via BVARC]

I have 2 TERA 500 radios, they are part 90 cert. They are 16 ch come program 
with 14 business freq and 2 mers freq. They are dual band. Bought a programming 
cable, you can program fsr/gmrs (dual use freq) into the radio, It will only 
let you program the max wattage fcc permits on the freq you enter ( Mers 2 
watts) you can program any ham freq (VHF or UHF) with no limitations, on all 
other freq the bandwidth and power are only adjustable if the freq you enter 
allows it by FCC rule. Need a laptop to program, but programs can be saved and 
just dropped in the radio. They make a 200 ch ver of this radio as well. Part 
90 prohibits front panel programming. These radios have very good audio and are 
simple to use. I use them when working with non hams with fsr or gmrs radios

Ahah!  Thanks!  That explains it. So part 90 is ok for HAM use but one must 
have part 95 for GMRS.  

Sometimes Fed Regs can be confusing

It seems that the little Beofeng IS certified.  Is this something that is not

Re: [BVARC] EMERGENCY ALERT - TEXAS HOUSE BILL 1911

[Jeffery MacMillian via BVARC]

Dear Bill,

Thanks for the heads up. I agree with number 1 and often why people move to
Texas with out written consent. :)

Number 2 is a mystery,  what does Child Support has to do with a
constitutional right, or a fishing license? CODE pink must be running the
state.

 Number 3 should probably be set to the same level to purchase a weapon. (
How ever tall you need to go on that particular ride. Standardized
infringement of the 2nd amendment seems to apply)  Felons don't really care
about any of the gun laws, so my interests drops fairly low and any
infringement of the Criminals rights to commit crimes is laughable.

I have always been more of a Mandatory Carry  supporter. Just like AMEX,
Don't leave home with out it. I don't have a carry permit, because I
believe in my right to privacy more than their misinterpretation of the law
or the lefts moral stance on how EVIL guns are, while being so soft on the
people that use them to turn a liquor stores into a piggy bank.


I have a limited view of the world and guns may or may not deter criminals,
but I do know around my house it makes is a very dangerous vocation and I
think OSHA should look in to it further.

The good news is that the country is free now and moving the right
direction. Once the Wall is built and they have Illegal Immigration reform
complete, dump the IRS code, repeal OBAMASCARE,  stick it to North Korea,
and Iran, Liberate the middle east from ISIS, and get finished with the 1st
100 days.  The mystery of who in the Trump administrations was sleeping
with which Russian and CNN  seems to be looking into should be solved.

If I knew more people in the LBGBLTG Community, I would get them to fight
for my right to have an antenna. They seems to know how to get things done.
Google like to ask me questions about places I go out to eat and or shop.
One of the questions is if they have a unisex bathrooms. I am thinking
Unisex means 1 sex and bisex should mean two so I  am am not clear if I am
answering that question correctly. Once we all are sharing the same
bathroom, peeing in public shouldn't even be a crime in my book.


This administration is working fast so its hard to tell if we have won
anything yet. Traffic is up, global warming is down and the mystery of the
sink holes are upon us.

Have Fun,
Jeff

[BVARC] Part 90 for Beofeng HT

[Philip KG5SGP via BVARC]

Guy, help out a newbie with confirmation on this dilemma: I have been told by 
several HAMs that my little Beofeng is not allowed for GMRS even if a license 
is purchased because it is not certified part 90. 

Then, I received a link from another HAM : 
http://www.gordonwestradioschool.com/attachments/FCC_Part_90_Certification_Baofeng_UV5R.pdf
 

It seems that the little Beofeng IS certified. Is this something that is not 
commonly known? Am I missing something here? Please explain. Inquiring minds 
want to know.
