This is the kind of thing that ruins ham radio for me, and I think a big part of why a lot of people who are interested in HF band stay on CB radio and work outlaw stations instead. The FCC mostly turns a blind eye to those who aren’t causing interference, and you don’t have to listen to angry 300 year old sad hams tell you all the silly things they believe you’re doing wrong.
_ (they’re also usually wrong because they’re usually ignoring some change in regulation or technology)_
Flex radio operator. The only radio… They have to justify all the money that they spent on that flex radio. So all you hear is that is the only radio that’s capable of working in the modern world.
Meanwhile, I’m over here with an SDR and a laptop just ruthlessly dunking on their complete inability to implement even basic DSP. HAM in general is just the epitome of dunning kruger. These guys think they are hot shit and don’t even know the depth of their own ignorance.
