About this episode
🚨 Rumor Alert: Is the FCC banning ALL ham radios from Amazon, eBay & Walmart in 2025? Social media is buzzing with claims of a total crackdown on Chinese-made amateur radios like Baofeng and Hytera – but it's mostly MISINFORMATION! In this video, we break down the REAL FCC enforcement advisory from October 2025: It's targeting UNAUTHORIZED gear from national security "Covered List" companies (Huawei, ZTE, Hytera) that could spy or disrupt comms. Legit, FCC-certified ham radios for hobbyists? Totally unaffected – keep scanning those bands worry-free!
