1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Prohibited Chinese electronics. Something after the bad Labs video that

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I put out a couple of weeks ago, some retailers

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>are talking about removing products from certain Chinese companies, and

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>other people are talking about a Ham radio band. But which,

5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>what are the details and what is this really and

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>are we gonna see more of it? I think so?

7
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>But let's look at this article today. So I ran

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 1>across a video on YouTube while I was researching this

9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>article that I found on Reuters dot com. And the

10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 1>video was titled Ham Radio Crackdown the Band that No

11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>One Saw coming. And I think that that's a bit ambiguous.

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>So I find this to be a little bit well, uninformed,

13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>is the is the good word for it. Uninformed. It's

14
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a video about a Ham radio. Like I said, it's

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>called Ham Radio Crackdown the band No One Saw coming.

16
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>In Again, I was researching this article that I found

17
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>through one of my Google news feeds, and this is

18
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the article that I found right here, and that's the

19
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>article that I'm going to share with you today. Now.

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 1>To be clear, this article never talks about Ham radio

21
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>at all. It never mentions anything about Ham radio. It

22
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>never mentions anything about a Ham radio manufacturer. It talks

23
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about three or four different Chinese manufacturers. None of them

24
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>are hand radio manufacturers. Okay, So someone who is talking

25
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>about tech that they don't know about my mistake. One

26
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>of these retailers for a Ham radio manufacturers. I can certainly.

27
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it's an honest mistake. I don't think there's

28
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>anything nefarious going on here. I don't think he's trying

29
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 1>to deceive anybody. I don't think anyone's trying to deceive anybody.

30
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Whoever I'm talking about. I'm not talking about anyone specific. Okay,

31
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>but let's read this article together and let me tell

32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you what I think about it. Okay. Major US online

33
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>retailers remove listings for millions of prohibited Chinese electronics. Okay,

34
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Now read what that says. US online retailers remove listings

35
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>for millions of prohibited Chinese electronics. Okay, So that doesn't

36
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>say anything to me about the FCC at all. However,

37
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the FCC is quoted in this article. Okay. Summary, FCC

38
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>says millions of listings for Chinese electronics online retail website

39
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>has been removed. Okay, FCC says that listings of Chinese

40
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>electronics has been removed US telecom regulator has taken series

41
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>of steps to crack down on Chinese telecoms, and latest

42
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>action comes amid rising tension between Washington and Beijing on

43
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>numerous fronts. And I think that could be likened back

44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to the article that we read here on this channel

45
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>couple weeks ago about the crackdown on Chinese own test

46
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>labs that the FCC is trying to do right now

47
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to maintain better quality control about what they do and

48
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>don't put their stamp on. Now, the FCC, regardless of

49
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>what you think about the FCC, if the FCC's stamp

50
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and name and approval are going to go onto a product,

51
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 1>and they should absolutely one hundred percent have complete say

52
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>so of over what their stamp does and does not

53
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 1>go onto. Okay. So if they don't want their stamp

54
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>going onto a product, they shouldn't have to have it there, Okay.

55
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So now they can be a little bit restrictive and

56
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit overbearing and over controlling at times, and

57
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they don't do any sometimes they're very lax and

58
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>don't do anything. And we're not really talking about any

59
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 1>of that today. We're just kind of reading through this

60
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>article that I found and I wanted to show you

61
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>guys today. So this was October tenth, which was a

62
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>week and a half or so ago at the time

63
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>of this recording. The chair of the FCC, Brendan Carr,

64
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 1>which we talked about him in a previous video as well,

65
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 1>said in an interview that the items removed are either

66
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>on a US list of barred equipment or we're not

67
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>authorized by the agency, including items like home security cameras

68
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>and smart watches from company called companies like Huawei. Talked

69
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>about them before a long time ago. They were I

70
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>used to own a four G hotspot that was made

71
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>by Whuahwei, hang Zoo, Hike Vision, Hickvision, Zte, and Dahua Technology.

72
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not familiar with any of these, but if

73
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you click on these links that they're linked from here,

74
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>it takes you to another routers page, Reuter's page. If

75
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 1>you scroll down here and you click on the website

76
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the u URL for these companies like these guys are

77
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>making like home security cameras. That's what you want. You

78
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 1>want China being able to tap into a home security

79
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 1>camera that they manufactured and you know, look at your

80
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>driveway or whatever, or look at the inside of your home,

81
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>depending on where you put your camera. But if you

82
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>look at all the I mean all of these websites

83
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>basically look the same. To me, it looks like the

84
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 1>same designer designed all these websites. And they're all kind

85
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>of like with this floating htm A five or flash

86
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. They're not nobody uses flash anymore, but whatever,

87
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever the technology is that makes all this hover go

88
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 1>around the website. I'm not a web developer. I can't

89
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about that, but I mean they kind of a

90
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 1>look the same. It's just I don't know. I find

91
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit suspect that all of these websites to

92
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>this soun. I wonder if it's all the same company anyway.

93
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Car said. Companies are putting new processes in place to

94
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>prevent future prohibited items as a result of the FCC oversight.

95
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>We're going to keep up with our efforts. Car said,

96
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>keep our efforts up. The FCC has issued a new

97
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>National Security knows for reminding companies prohibited items, including video

98
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>surveillance equipment. Car said some of the items could allow

99
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>China to surveil Americans, disrupt communications networks, and otherwise threaten

100
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>US national security. Yeah, I mean, if a Chinese company

101
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>shows you a product through Amazon, through eBay, through wherever,

102
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 1>through another retailer, and they can tap into that product

103
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and monitor it through some back door that they put

104
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in the programming software, then yeah, that's totally that's nobody

105
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>wants that. It's totally illegitimate. It's something the FCC should

106
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>crack down on, and I'm one hundred percent for that.

107
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>But what's this have to do with him radio? Okay,

108
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>let's read on. So he goes on here and I'm

109
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna put I'll put this, I'll put this article link

110
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and blow. It's not a very long article article at all. Okay,

111
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you can see this right here and it said it

112
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>talks about z T Huawei ZTE here again, China Mobile

113
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and China Telecom, which again I went to their websites

114
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and these are very similar looking websites also, and China Mobile.

115
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>It kind of sounds like a DMR Digital Mobile Radio.

116
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's not really. It's talking about all

117
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>these investors and press release and dividends and financial statements

118
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and blah blah blah and stock prices et cetera, et cetera.

119
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what these people make. I don't know

120
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>if they make anything at all that would affect you

121
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>and I. But the part that does affect you and

122
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I right here, if you scroll down and you find

123
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>this place right here, it says. In March, FCC said

124
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>it was investigating nine Chinese companies on the covered list,

125
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>including huawez Ete we talked about then, as well as

126
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 1>High Terra Communications, Dahua, Pacifica Networks, com net China, Unicom Americas,

127
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So High Terra is the company that is

128
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 1>supposedly making Ham radios and are supposedly getting banned according

129
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 1>to some other video that I've found. Well, okay, well,

130
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>here's the truth of it here right here, Okay, High

131
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Terra does not make Ham radios anymore than Motorola makes

132
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Ham radios. You can absolutely one percent use a high

133
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Terra on Ham radio bands if it covers those bands.

134
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing illegal about that at all. It's completely legitimate.

135
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 1>And I know several guys who have a High Tira

136
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>radio and they you know, they sound good. In fact,

137
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I know several Motorola guys who have High Terra radios

138
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that say that claim they sound better than their Motorola radios.

139
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>About seven years ago at Daytonham Mention, High Terra made

140
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>an appearance on the scene of amateur radio and announced

141
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a new AR four eighty two g DMRHT. It was

142
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>monoband they actually sent me one. I did a video

143
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.759
<v Speaker 1>about it, and I'll link that somewhere in here. And

144
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>then a year or so after that they just kind

145
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of disappeared. Now I learned later what that reasoning was.

146
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>They backed out of the game for some reason. I

147
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 1>can't remember what it was right now. But this is

148
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the only as far as I know, this is the

149
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>only amateur radio made, only radio made by High Terra

150
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>for the amateur radio market. So today and then this was,

151
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>like I said seven years ago, Today they don't make

152
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>anything for the amateur radio market at all. Again, you

153
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 1>can use high Terra, you can use high Terra on

154
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.399
<v Speaker 1>amateur radio frequencies. You can totally do that. But it's

155
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>not this is not a This is not a People

156
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think of banned band Chinese electronics and they think Bowfang.

157
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing in this article about Bowfang. There's nothing in

158
00:08:55.399 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>this article about any tone, tyt kyd, Tai, Tarra, KAIDERA,

159
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>several of these other sounding ones. Hi Terra is the

160
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 1>only two way radio that's mentioned in this article. Okay,

161
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>And he talks about these FCC probing if Chinese tech

162
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>telecom firms seeking to evade restrictions. This is another article here,

163
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and he's talked about nine different companies and there's no

164
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>one other than hi Tera mentioned in this article as well,

165
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>not any of the not any of the companies, not

166
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 1>any of the companies that you and I would recognize

167
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 1>as Chinese made radios that you know, we might buy

168
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon or see people carrying around anfest or anything

169
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 1>like that at all. So, now, if we're talking about

170
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff that's made for immature radio, specifically for amateur radio,

171
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>today's video sponsor I'm proud to announce is brand new

172
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:52.399
<v Speaker 1>which is bio and opower dot com. Bio and Opower

173
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>has been in business since twenty ten out of Santa Ana, California,

174
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and they make lithiumarin phosphate batteries in very numerous sizes,

175
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>all targeted for the amateur radio community. Check out biowinopower

176
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Link will be in the description. Blow if

177
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>you've never used a bioino on a PODA outing or

178
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>in a battery box or even on your RV. I

179
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>ran a Biowino on my old RV, the one that

180
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>was falling apart, which was not the battery's fault. But

181
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I ran one hundred amp hour bio winal on that

182
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 1>RV for pretty much the day I bought it until

183
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the day I took it to the shop and they

184
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>just kept it. But great, great batteries, great support of

185
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the amateur radio community. Check out the link in the description.

186
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Blow thanks Bioino for supporting the channel. Pretty much all

187
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>of these websites I'm clicking on or talking about camera

188
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>equipment and video surveillance equipment. And I find it interesting

189
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that Hiterra is mixed in there because they're a two

190
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>way radio manufacturer, but you know what, they do other

191
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 1>stuff besides just two way radio. Wal So whether it's

192
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>ham radio or commercial radio, hi Terra is just a

193
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Chinese electronics manufacturing company. So whether or not, I mean

194
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>again that there's five to six different five or six

195
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>different companies listed in this Reuter's ad that we're looking

196
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 1>at here, and Hitera is the only one that when

197
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 1>we look at it, we think, oh, that's a radio manufacturer,

198
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 1>and they are, but they likely do other things too,

199
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>because everybody else talked about here, even that China mobile one,

200
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>even that one, when I talked about that one, I

201
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>never really saw anything on their website that was radio related.

202
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So it seems like and according to this statement that

203
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the FCC chairman made, it seems like they're more going

204
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>after video surveillance equipment from this most recent article, at least,

205
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of how I read it, and i'd be

206
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>interested to see what you guys think about that in

207
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the comment section blow as well. I don't really think

208
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>that there's much to this. They might the FCC, again,

209
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I must read it, reiterate the title of this article.

210
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing about a ban at all. In this title.

211
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 1>It says major US online re tailors remove listings for

212
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 1>millions of prohibited Chinese electronics. So the FCC is working

213
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to prohibit certain things that they think might contain surveillance

214
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 1>illegal surveillance measures. And this article specifically is as mentioning

215
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 1>US online retailers that have chosen to remove listings of

216
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>those products from their store. It doesn't say anything about Amazon,

217
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>but you kind of assume that's talking about Amazon is

218
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 1>removing these listings. And if we go over here to

219
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and we search for high Terra. There's a BD

220
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>five oh two. Okay, this is a UHF only four

221
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.399
<v Speaker 1>hundred and four to seventy megahertz forty eight channel four.

222
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Why UHFHT for three hundred dollars with no screen on it,

223
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:45.879
<v Speaker 1>just like a motor roller radio. High Terra is very

224
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 1>good quality. The high Terra ones the radios that I

225
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 1>have seen and used in the past, which is not

226
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.039
<v Speaker 1>very many, okay, but the ones I have seen and

227
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.840
<v Speaker 1>used in the past are quite good as far as

228
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 1>reception that. They have good front end rejection, They have

229
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>a good audio both transmit and receive audio. They are

230
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 1>well made radios, so it kind of surprises me that

231
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 1>they're on this list at all. However, they're not ham radios, okay,

232
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>they're commercial grade radios. This one here looks like it's

233
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a dual band forty eight channels, eight pre program channels.

234
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>No FCC license needed, it says right there, So that

235
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 1>tells me it's the pre program channels are probably somewhere

236
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 1>in the MERS or FR. If they're in FRS range,

237
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>then this radios are a radio legal so I'm not

238
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 1>sure what that means. Says. Frequency is both one thirty

239
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>six to one seventy four and four fifty to four

240
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 1>to seventy Okay, so it doesn't even go it goes

241
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 1>one thirty six to one seventy four and four fifty

242
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to four seventy. So it does not cover this one

243
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>does not cover the UHF seventy centimeter or amateur radio band.

244
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 1>So you can find a few other things. They've got

245
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>some network radios. You can find a few other things

246
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>about High Terra on Amazon. But they are not They're

247
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>they're a very good commercial grade radio manufacturer that apparently

248
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>did something to piss off the fcs SE. I don't

249
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 1>really know what, but they're not They're not Ham radios anyway.

250
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>So all of that to say that I think the

251
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>big scare of banning High Terra's is number one. It

252
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's just a scare because they're still listed

253
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon right now, and I don't know what the

254
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>FCC has said about High Terra, but I didn't I

255
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't really look it up and research it because they're

256
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>not actually Ham radios. When they when the FCC says

257
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>something about banning Baofang, I'll make another video about that.

258
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.639
<v Speaker 1>But what do you guys think. Have you heard more

259
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 1>on this? Have you seen this article on Reuter's because

260
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 1>again that's this is something that came across my news feed,

261
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and I like to make videos like this that are

262
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 1>talking about FCC and the efforts they keep doing to

263
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>uh to you know, in theory of improve radio communications

264
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>and radio quality inside of the USA. Have you heard

265
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>about this? What do you think about it? What do

266
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 1>you think should be next? And do you own a

267
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>high terror radio? Do you own a high terror radio

268
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>that you currently use on amateur radio bands? Let me

269
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 1>know the model number in the comments section. Blow love

270
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 1>to see what you think about tell me your opinion

271
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.399
<v Speaker 1>about the quality of that radio too. If you like

272
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>this video, then check out these videos over here. Which

273
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 1>YouTube thinks you want to watch next and we will

274
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.519
<v Speaker 1>catch you next time.
