Done with RR

Ok, so -apparently- I've been stepping on some toes as I was just told in an email, over something in the past that is long and over with? WEll...Gee. Nice to bring it to my face you guys. Way to sit behind your little PM boxes and ***** about me to each other. I can suspect who some of these folks are, too. Long story short, saw a HT1000 on Craigslist for a good price, was inquiring about getting it when it was asked if I was this RR User, and upon it being known I was, I was immediately asked 'Didn't you disrupt rowan 911 communications and aren't allowed to have radios?'... No. My house caught fire YEARS, and I mean freakin' YEARS ago!!!! I think it was 2010. Either way, I used County Fire VHF to call it in AS PER the FCC Rules as I at the time didn't have another line of communication. No cell at the time, and my neighbors weren't around. So what, I was sposed to walk the neighborhood LOOKING for someone who was home? SCREW that. I called it in on County FIre, IDing with my HAM callsign proper and such... Following the FCC's rules which SUPERSEDE any apparent 'butthurt' over me using 154.250MHz. So in court, guess what? I was NOT convicted of the initial arson charge. And was -acquitted- of any and all charges involving the radio stuff. My stipulations from Judge Brown? Pay restitution to the homeowner(Check and done.... More than fair, yeah it was accident but it still happened and damaged their property, only fair), serve community service(Done and done..), and not own any legal public safety equipment during the period of my probation...Again, check and done. I got rid of my Motorola radio, put into storage away from me and any ready access to me, my minitor I pager, and III I have as well. Same for my old light I used as a volunteer. But guess what? <b>That's over with and done</b>!!! My 'punishment' has been LONG served and paid for. But apparently, according to whom was selling this radio? I will not name him out of respect, however here is a direct quote from the email he sent me.



"Yeah OK that's all I needed to know. I thought your name looked familiar, you've been quite a hot topic recently among the two-way LMR community in this area, your posts on RR are not helping your case either...



I'm going to pass on selling the radios and advise that you tread very carefully in your effort to obtain access to 800 MHz systems and having public safety frequencies programmed in your radios at all. You're the last person that needs to have access to any kind of communications equipment.





Thanks,"



So it sounds like I've been stepping on toes here, and no-one's had the damn scrot to step up and tell me? I thought we all were -responsible- adults here where we could talk about our problems instead of passing notes at the back of the class in secret, so to speak. When someone has paid their dues, and in FOUR years hasn't done anything -remotely- similar to this? And also when specifying channels for this HT1000 ALSO specified that he wanted the pub-safety channels to have a NO TX option? Yet I still get treated like this!? Yeah good riddance radioreference. You all can play with your little home patrol's, and bearcat's, and GRE's and stuff. I"m going to be sticking with the community that stuck by me, the amateur radio community. Where, ya know... We use radios, not scanners. In closing, also, for that 'You're the last person that needs to ahve access to any kind of communications equipment' part? If you all agree with that? My amateur call is KJ4SKB. It's got my house address there. Send the cops, do it. If you're going to be a 'keyboard commando', then put some action behind those words. Elsewise, you just end up looking like a internet troll who's all bark and no bite. Whether you guys feel I should have radio's or not, I don't give a flying f-word about. I own quite a few, three Baofeng's, a radioshack 2m, and a HF. As is my legal right to. So yeah. That's you all's collective opinion's about me? Good bloody riddance to all of you.
