Come on. I think “ripped off” is a bit over dramatic.
That is like saying you are pissed because the thing you bought off some late night infomercial is actually ■■■■.
What did you expect?
Twice in one day, must be illegal radio modification day. Anyway, just a quick reminder since this conversation is headed a certain direction:
[b][i]"Modifying certain types of radios, including equipment approved for GMRS use, is illegal. That is a fact. How you feel about this law as well as whether or not it is actually enforced is irrelevant. Having these topics discussed here could potentially cause problems for us, so we’re going to have to set and enforce some specific rules on what will and will not be allowed on this topic:
Discussion concerning the law itself, for example why you feel that it is good or bad or enforced or not enforced, is permissible.
Discussion, without specifics, of the performance (or lack thereof) of components of certain radio models and how performance could potentially be impacted with a different/better component is permissible. For example: “The antenna on radio X is terrible. With a better antenna, I expect the range would improve 200%!”
Discussion of tweaks or modifications with specifics that could be replicated or used by others to modify radios is NOT permissible. On the first offense, users violating this rule will be warned and their post will be removed. A second offense will result in a ban." [/i][/b]
Again, sorry but this debate has taken place before and this is the policy we had to implement. Do continue to provide your opinions, just do not start to post a “how to modify your radio” thread.
Agreed.
That is in all fairness.
