Hey, before we get started,
be sure to head over to HAM radio

thousand, I will be doing a giveaway

6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.679
of another HF radio sign up today
and thank you for the support. Here's

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.920
another story about a CB operator,
not a HAM but a CB operator who

8
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.799
received a fine for harmful interference and
for refusing to have his station inspected.

9
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.079
Basically, he just ignored the FCC. I'm going to ask you to look

10
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.880
at it from a little bit of
a different perspective than what the last video

11
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.359
I did suggested. So let's take
a look at this right now. The

12
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:58.880
last video I made was about a
CB operator who received a three thousand dollars

13
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.319
fine for failing to allow the FCC
to inspect his radio equipment. They came

14
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.959
and knocked on his door and he
said, well, I have to leave

15
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.519
for a doctor's appointment. Apparently they
couldn't verify that he did not let them

16
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.319
inspect his CB radio and they didn't
have a warrant, so they didn't come

17
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:15.799
in and they didn't do that.
Now, you guys put a lot of

18
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.719
really good comments in that video.
We're gonna get to that here in just

19
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.280
a minute. This story today is
very similar, except it details some actual

20
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.000
harmful interference that was created by this
CB operator. So here's the thing.

21
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.640
Here's the question I want to ask
you today. If you're the guy next

22
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.879
door, or you're the guy two
doors down or across the street from this

23
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.959
CB operator, and you are the
one experiencing harmful interference from someone else,

24
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:48.159
doesn't that violate your rights? Everybody's
in the comments is talking about the rights

25
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.079
of the CB operator not letting him
in the door and not getting a warrant.

26
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.560
And I got a lot of comments
saying, well, if he received

27
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.920
a fine, then they're violating his
Fourth Amendment rights. Anyway, I don't

28
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.760
really think I agree with that viewpoint. I see where you're coming from,

29
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.480
though, But what if you're the
guy next door? What happens then?

30
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.560
The title here at this story,
which I will link in the description blow

31
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:12.960
is cbe radio owner receives fine for
harmful interference and lack of responsiveness. The

32
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.919
owner of a CBE citizens vand station
was recently issued a notice of apparent liability

33
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.680
of forfeiture an NAAL for eighteen thousand
dollars eighteen thousand dollars as a result of

34
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:29.719
interference caused to his neighbour's electronic devices. Okay, so look at this from

35
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.680
the neighbor's standpoint. I've read through
most of this letter, and I don't

36
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:36.240
think this neighbor was a ham.
So it wasn't like there's, oh,

37
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.400
Sadham reports you to the FCC.
No, that's not what happened here,

38
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.840
so keep reading. The owner was
fined for failing to make his CB station

39
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.240
available for inspection by the FCC and
for failing to comply with the restricted hours

40
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.280
imposed on the operation of his CB
station following official notification from the FCC restrictive

41
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.280
hours hours imposed. So they basically
told him, look, you can't operate

42
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.039
between these these hours and this you
know at night time, you can't operate

43
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.360
after ten pm, you can't operate
before six am. I don't know what

44
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.280
it was because they didn't say,
but they told them they couldn't operate during

45
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:08.919
a certain time of day. I
find that odd. So now, okay,

46
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.520
now, I'm feeling for the CB
guy telling you when you can and

47
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.199
can't operate a radio. I don't
know, I don't know, all right,

48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:17.599
let's keep going. In response to
a complaint that a CV station was

49
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.120
causing interference to a neighbor's telephone and
TV reception, the FCC attempted to conduct

50
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.560
an investigation of the station in January
of twenty twelve. So this story is

51
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.120
a few years old. But this
is in the twenty first century, you

52
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.599
know. I thought that with all
the digital devices that are out now,

53
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.520
ledtvs and Internet devices and no longer
like rabbit ears on your attendant, that

54
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120
kind of thing, I think the
interference from radio is much less than it

55
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.520
was one or two decades ago.
But this was still in the twenty first

56
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.240
century, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. At that time, no one answered

57
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.879
the door. In March of twenty
twelve, the FCC issued a warning letter

58
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.360
to the owner and directed the owner
to contact the FCC to schedule an inspection.

59
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.400
The letter also warned the owner that
if interference continued, the FCC would

60
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.520
impose restricted operation hours on the station. The owner never responded to the warning

61
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.199
letter. In May of twenty twelve, the FCC again sent a letter to

62
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:11.680
the owner, this time directing him
and anyone else at his residents not okay,

63
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.759
So here's the time. It does
say it below not to operate the

64
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.480
CB station from eight am to eleven
thirty pm wow until the owner contact the

65
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.000
FCC to schedule the inspection. The
owner again failed to contact the FCC.

66
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.600
The FCC continued to receive complaints of
interference in the neighborhood and sent yet another

67
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.199
warning letter to the station's owner in
June, reminding him of the restricted operating

68
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.279
hours put into place and directing him
to schedule an inspection okay in the neighborhood.

69
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.319
So the way I read that is
he was interfering with more than one

70
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.560
person, So now he's interfering on
numerous persons rights. You have the right

71
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.879
to watch TV and talk on the
telephone your own home without interference, right.

72
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.800
I think most of us would agree
with that. In October of that

73
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.680
same year, agents from the FCC
again attempted to conduct an investigation. They

74
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.040
monitored multiple radio transmissions in the citizens
band and use direction finding techniques to confirm

75
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.800
that the transmissions were emanating from the
owner's residents. When the agent's knocked on

76
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.560
the door. No one answered,
but the transmissions immediately stopped, indicating the

77
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.079
owner turned off the CB station while
the FCC agents were at his doorstep.

78
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.959
At the date of the NAL,
the FCC had received no responses of the

79
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.399
owner of the CB station. Section
ninety five dot four two three Alpha and

80
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:26.959
Bravo of the FCC's Rules provide that
if an FCC informs a CB operator that

81
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.480
a station is causing interference, the
CB operator must comply with all instructions issued

82
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.560
in an official FCC notice and must
comply with any restricted hours of operation issued

83
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.160
in such a note. In addition, section three h three of the Communications

84
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.959
Act and section ninety five dot four
four two six Alpha of the SEC's Rules.

85
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.639
At PRICB, owner stations make their
stations and records available for inspection by

86
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.079
the FCC. So those of you
who tend to think that you give up

87
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.680
your Fourth Amendment rights when you get
a HAM radio license, well, first

88
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.879
of all, you don't, Okay, I did a video about that.

89
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.720
You can you can go check that
right here did a video about that just

90
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.319
a couple of weeks ago. You
don't give up your rights, But this

91
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.720
blurb that you agree to when you
get a HAM radio license is listed in

92
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.800
the Part ninety five document of the
CB Radio Operators FCC Rules and Regulations.

93
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.000
Okay, so by purchasing a CB
and keying up that transmitter, keying up

94
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.959
that microphone, you are automatically agreeing
to the same sort of requirement for inspection

95
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.000
of your station. And this guy
was obviously interfering with his neighbors. So

96
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.720
do you think that it was okay
for the FCC to knock on this guy's

97
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.199
door and request an inspection. They
didn't kick his door down, they didn't

98
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.519
enter without a warrant, They didn't
confiscate any equipment. It says over and

99
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.879
over again in this article that he
refused, that he wouldn't answer the door.

100
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.319
They couldn't even get in his house. So do you think they had

101
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.120
the right to do that since multiple
people in the neighborhood were affected by his

102
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.879
interferre ring CB radio. The article
ends here saying the base fine for failing

103
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:06.720
to allow inspection radio equipment seven thousand
dollars. The FCC found that an additional

104
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:13.759
seven thousand upward adjustment of this find
was warranted because the owner had continually ignored

105
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.720
letters from the FCC and notices,
though there is no base defined designation for

106
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.199
failing to comply with FCC notices,
so, in other words, there's no

107
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:29.199
monetary value designed for a failing to
comply with FCC orders imposing operational regulations on

108
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.160
CB station. The FCC found that
the nature of this violation was similar to

109
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.279
that of failing to respond to an
official FCC communication, for which there is

110
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.560
a base of four thousand dollars,
which FCC included forceture amount in addition to

111
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.639
the eighteen thousand dollars fine. The
fccs requiring the owner to submit a some

112
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.120
worn written statement within thirty days of
the NAL confirming compliance with the restricted hours

113
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.439
of operation and specifying a day and
time when the FCC can inspect the CB

114
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.040
radio station. And that's pretty much
the end of it. So it doesn't

115
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.920
do it ever, do any follow
up. It doesn't do any I don't

116
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.439
know what happened to this guy.
This ten years ago, I got comments

117
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.040
on my last video that was a
three thousand dollars fine for failing to allow

118
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.639
inspection of a CBE radio station from
another user, and I got a lot

119
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.800
of varied comments that some people were
in favor of that, some people were

120
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.199
against it. Some people were like, well, you're not getting into my

121
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.360
house without a warrant, And I'm
like, you know what, good you

122
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.519
should not allow government agencies into your
own private home without a warrant. I

123
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.519
completely agree with that statement. It's
the best statement I've heard about this situation.

124
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.920
Okay, And in this specific article
that I just read to you,

125
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.639
that didn't happen. They knocked on
his door, he ignored, he refused

126
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.720
to answer the door, he refused
to respond to their letters, and for

127
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.200
all intents and purposes, it doesn't
look like anything happened. I mean,

128
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.120
they issued a fine, eighteen thousand
dollars fine to him. Is that going

129
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.600
to affect him later in the future
when he goes to apply for a new

130
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.559
home loan or a new car loan, or some sort of line of credit,

131
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.600
new credit card? Is that going
to sit on his record somewhere?

132
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.159
If he gets pulled over by a
police officer for speeding or for tail light

133
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.080
out, is that government notice going
to be on his record somewhere? I

134
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.159
don't know. I don't know.
I mean, I wouldn't want something like

135
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.960
that on my record, but I
don't know if that would affect what he's

136
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.639
doing or not. So perhaps perhaps
not. And I want to read to

137
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.399
you some of these comments that was
on my last video that I really do

138
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.600
agree with. Some of them are
most of them are very good. There's

139
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.840
one or two I don't agree with, but most of them are pretty good.

140
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.039
First, let me tell you about
LDG Electronics. You can save a

141
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.200
twenty percent discount on everything at the
LDG table at Daytonhamvention at the Gigabarts booth.

twenty percent off discount and thank them
for sponsoring this channel and this video.

147
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.720
So, these are a lot of
comments that I got from my three thousand

148
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.960
dollars fine for refusing radio inspection.
This is the one that I have pinned

149
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.080
at the top. This is this
is a pretty good comment here. It

150
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.399
really doesn't matter if you we have
a hand license or any other kind of

151
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.320
license. And that's kind of my
point for the whole video. This video

152
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.799
and the video you're watching now and
this previous video. Both if you're operating

153
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.799
a transmitter that is causing interference,
you can expect to knock on the door.

154
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.159
Depending on service. When you operate
a CB radio, you must operate

155
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.639
within the rules, whether there is
a license or not. For example,

156
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.039
Part fifteen operators of the CB rules
allow you to operate AM or FN broadcast

157
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.720
transmitter at a half a WAT.
I don't think that's true. I think

158
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.279
it's AM or FM broadcast transmitter at
a half a W. Well, first

159
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.720
of all, we don't broadcast in
radio, we transmit. Broadcast is a

160
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.519
general term that means you're like an
FM radio station, so a station you'd

161
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.080
listen to your car. They are
broadcasting because they're a one way You can

162
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.519
listen to them, but you can't
talk directly back to them. So radio

163
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.919
operators, cbgmrs and hand radio operators, we don't broadcast, we transmit,

164
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.759
and we also receive because it's two
way radio. It's a semantics term.

165
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.360
It doesn't really matter, but I
understand what this gentleman is saying, but

166
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.519
at a half a wat, that's
not correct. It's actually four watts.

167
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.279
That's the limit. If I understand
what he's saying that it's four Why that's

168
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.600
the limit on CBE radio? When
you boast the power he might mean boost

169
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.320
the power. When you boost the
power to ten or twenty watts, you

170
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.799
were in violation. You don't have
to let them in, but a fine

171
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.519
will be likely. They don't just
show up. They have to listen,

172
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.399
measure bandwidth, power, et cetera. They aren't guessing at it. Sometimes

173
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.039
they are guessing at it. That's
why they ask for an inspection. You

174
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.799
can complain it. FCC record and
transcribe what you hear. The FCC has

175
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.080
to see it for themselves. In
the broadcast business. Now he's talking about

176
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.840
broadcasting, they can stop by during
normal business hours, and normal business hours

177
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.600
are when the stations on the air. So ANO there's twenty four to seven

178
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.960
for most radio stations. They never
show up at night, as unlikely they

179
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.519
will kick down the door. FCC
people are engineers. If you don't cause

180
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.320
the interference, you won't hear from
them. The FCC today is concerned with

181
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.639
wireless so I thought that was a
pretty good comment there, so a couple

182
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.120
other good comments down here. The
FCC can do whatever they want, his

183
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.960
opinion, They can refuse to issue
you a M radio license. That's what

184
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.519
they did to me. My extra
class license has been five years in waiting

185
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.919
now. Every time I check it
says pending. I don't know what the

186
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.720
story is behind that comment, but
I would like to know. Thirty years

187
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.399
of being a Ham radio operator,
I've never heard of anyone being refused a

188
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.279
license. One of the test questions
on the Ham Radio exam is that anyone

189
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.200
can get a license unless you're the
representative of a foreign government. So unless

190
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.080
this guy's a representative of a foreign
government or have some kind of really wicked

191
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.480
thing on his criminal record, I
don't know. They rarely bother Ham radio

192
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.480
operators. So if your CBR operator
just go get your hand license, then

193
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.879
will leave you alone, unless you're
interfering with emergency services. I don't think

194
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.919
that that's true. If you're a
Ham you have to take a test that

195
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:35.559
presumes you understand a little bit about
radio operation, and you should understand about

196
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.919
spurious ebmissions and about band allocations and
frequencies and power ratings. So you should

197
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.480
be able to understand that a little
bit better than someone who just goes buy

198
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.799
as a radio, op the shelf
and starts transmitting. I don't know how

199
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.600
accurate that that statement is. CB, as well as FRS and merger a

200
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.240
licensed by rule still following the REFCC
rules. Also, the reason why the

201
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.000
Fourth Amendment does not apply here is
that the inspection is a request, yes

202
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.519
that's what I said in the video, not a demand failure to allow.

203
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.320
It does not allow them to enter
without a warrant, and the fine is

204
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.639
based on the violation of the license. Even for CEB, the FCC is

205
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.639
obtain warrants for searches and those are
usually served by US. Marshall, Yeah,

206
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.600
most of the CBE radios today are
illegal. You need to follow the

207
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.559
law. I agree with that.
Okay, you want to in come back

208
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.879
with a warrant, Dwayne says,
yeah, no, I'm good with that.

209
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.279
I mean, the point to that
video, the point to my Fourth

210
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.000
Amendment video, to point the point
to this refuse in inspection video, both

211
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.399
these CB refusion inspection videos, is
that they never entered the home without a

212
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.120
warrant. They knocked on the door. This last guy in this story today,

213
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.840
didn't even answer his door and refuse
to respond to their letters. So

214
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.559
what happened? I don't know.
He never went to jail, at least

215
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.080
not in this article, so I
don't know if that's really a thing or

216
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.159
not. I would like to see
some follow up from some of these stories

217
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.679
that says, hey, after all, this transpired a year later, a

218
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.799
couple of years later, whatever,
this is what happened to this individual.

219
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.840
Maybe he never did anything, Maybe
he completely ignored it and they finally went

220
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.120
I kind of don't think they went
away, since there were numerous people in

221
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.360
his neighborhood complaining about his crappy signal. Okay, he was probably operating too

222
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.159
much power and he probably didn't have
his station grounded very well. Most of

223
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.080
the comments I got in this last
video were from the viewpoint of the cbeer

224
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.279
operator. If you were standing in
your home and the FCC knocked on your

225
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.279
door and asked to see your station
equipment, whether you're a HAM CBE operator,

226
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.679
GMRS or anything, if that happened
to you, if the FCC knocked

227
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.159
on your door, most people were
like, well I wouldn't let him in.

228
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.240
No, you don't have a warrant
I wouldn't let me in, and

229
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.440
I'm good with that. I'm good
with that attitude. I would probably do

230
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.960
the same thing. I would probably
allow them to inspect my ham radio station

231
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.080
because that's part of my license agreement. But my ham radio stations in my

232
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.279
hamshack. It's not in my house. I have a separate building in my

233
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.960
backyard with all my ham radio equipment
and my antennas and towers right outside of

234
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.919
here, so I don't need to
let him in my house. I can

235
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.080
let him in my hamshack, which
is an extension of my home, true,

236
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.919
but it's not my actual home.
So I would probably let him in

237
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.600
if they were polite and ast nicely. But a lot of you said you

238
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.080
wouldn't let me in. Okay,
Well fine, okay, but what about

239
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.120
look at it from a different viewpoint. What about if you're the guy next

240
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.200
door, two doors down or across
the street, and you're like, hey,

241
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.000
this guy. Every time this guy
keys up, my TV gets all

242
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.519
fuzzy, maybe your WiFi router reboots. So whatever you're doing on the Internet,

243
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.759
just you got to stop because you
lose connection on your laptop or your

244
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.360
smartphone loses connection in the internet because
your router is rebooting because of a huge

245
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.440
RIF signal that pours into it.
You've got, he says, telephone interference.

246
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.080
I assume that means landline. Most
people don't have land lines anymore,

247
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.320
and I've never really seen a CBE
radio or a HAM radio interfere with a

248
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.000
smartphone. But maybe you still have
a land line. Maybe you have a

249
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.559
cordless phone. It could interfere with
that. Maybe you have a touch lamp

250
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.080
on your wall and you see it
kind of turn off and go through the

251
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.639
three levels of light low, medium, high and turn off again and turn

252
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.039
back on and kind of go low, medium, high and turn off.

253
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.000
Maybe if you ever see that,
radios can do that. I used to

254
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.080
have a touch lamp and I got
rid of it because I got tired of

255
00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.480
My wife would be like, yeah, you turn the lamp on again.

256
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.600
I'm like, let's get rid of
that stupid thing. So that's a thing.

257
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.679
But what do you think you would
do if you were the one being

258
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.879
interfered with from a guy down the
road that is, let's face it,

259
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:15.840
operating his CB illegally, because even
if he's running the power that he's supposed

260
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.360
to be running, even if he's
staying within the legal limits. Legal power

261
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.559
limits of the CB radio, causing
harmful interference is not allowed. He could

262
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:29.759
probably have a four watt CB with
a really tall antenna, which is totally

263
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.799
legal, that is not properly grounded
and cause interference. So it may just

264
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.440
be a grounding issue. So what
would you do if you were the guy

265
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.440
across the street? I don't know, put a comment below. I would

266
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.200
really love to hear comments at that
regard. And if you like this video,

267
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:47.600
check out all the couple of these
videos over here about other CB radio
