Realy this has got pretty silly KC7rip starts by say about laws yes there are laws concerning HAM radio but this NOT radio so what laws appliy in any countrie to internet I said before and I will say it again if you do not understand this is only simulation,,,, well it leaves spechless there are no laws on the internet.If was on HF that wouilod be different but agin this is only playing radio ........Norm

[KE7RIP]

Might i suggest you edit your post to check for spelling? Thanks.

[KE7RIP]

"Playing radio" right. I made that point to.

But i'll leave it at this.
Some people will use the software as just a chat program.
Others will practice using it like a real radio with bounteries and guildlines.
By practicing good habits you learn your limits on a real radio.

And this Email i got should say it all.

Qsonet does not enforce band and license restrictions by license class for any country.
Techs can transmit on any Qsonet band and frequency, as long as they follow the mode restrictions.

I was comparing your available bands and the compatibility of a USA issued license.
None of the Mhz you offer seem to be for a Technician class using voice. Your software seem to be geared more for the General class user. Was this deliberate? Because if I cant legally use your software I don't see my self purchasing it. It does have a nice look and feel and sounds great. It would be good for SW listening for Tech level users it seems. Unless I get CW certified.

Thank you for the reply. Perhaps I'm just looking at the chart wrong in my trying to be carefull on what bands I transmit on to comply with FCC regulations.



Technician classes
3.5 MHz

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels
The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference to and must accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center frequency.
General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:
Channel Center Amateur Tuning Frequency
5332 kHz 5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz 5346.5 kHz
5368 kHz 5366.5 kHz
5373 kHz 5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz (common US/UK) 5403.5 kHz

Amateurs may use USB *only* with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 50 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd. For details, see the 60 Meter FAQ page.

Amateur Extra class:

7.125-7.300 MHz: CW, Phone, Image
Note: Phone and Image modes are permitted between 7.075 and 7.100 MHz for FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and by FCC licensed stations in ITU Region 2 West of 130 degrees West longitude or south of 20 degrees North latitude. See Section 97.307(f)(11). Novice and Technician licensees outside ITU Region 2 may use CW only between 7.050 and 7.075 MHz. See Section 97.301(e). These exemptions do not apply to stations in the continental US.

The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis. This allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems operated by all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this and adjacent bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are the primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning operations. ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS stations. The FCC requires that amateur operators provide written notification including the station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at least 30 days before beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the FCC Rules.

Well if all you have to worry about is spelling MISTAKES good for you ..funny every country in the world have there own nethods of grading ham radio licenses and the only country who has quired who can use what section or band has been the USA ....Norm

[KE7RIP]

i was refering to the mistake in kC7rip VS kE7rip. Have a nice day.
You are dismissed.

[VE4EO]

thank you so much for dismissing me ,i was going to quit anyway after all this still internet not ham radio ...........

[KB0OXD]

Hi everyone:

[KB0OXD]

Hi everyone:

[KD4QFT]

Why are Hams vindictive of other Hams it was always to try and help each other
The facts are simple
You are leasing for $32 per year from a private company the use of their program THEY stipulate the rules, within their boundaries.
If this owner decides Registered Blind people can use the program then guess what a Registered Blind person can use it NO HAM LICENCE REQUIRED AT ANY LEVEL.
If the lease on your condo say No Ham radio aerials, No dogs allowed that means YOU can have an aerial and a dog but not on this Private property.
The rules for getting a Ham licence have changed, that is not in the control of a person wishing to become a Ham.
So Please grow up talk to all those with any level of licence as an equal YOU or I are no better than any other Amateur.

This one makes a good smile but a lousy breakfast. Too much ego, not enough egg.........

[N1TKO]

Wow.... sorry I missed this thread a while back. Very amusing. I'm surprized nobody mentioned not to touch the back of your CRT while transmitting.... you could get bitten by the RF

[KC2JYK]

The frequencies for techicians are usable.All of them.
You must id properly and watch what said?
Do that a ok.
