The Wouxun and then Baofeng $50 radio invasion of a few years ago does seem to have taken off exponentially now with many more brands.  As we all know, this stuff is ending up on the ham bands VHF/UHF spectrum without licenses.  Like the “My Emergency Radio” brand Lee Cooper found which I relayed to this list. 

Worse yet, the conventional UHF police/fire/ems analog systems, at least around my Philly area, have seen jammers and on-air harassment of public safety systems developing for a couple years – those that have not migrated to digital systems and trunking.  Broad-ranged, dirt cheap radios are the culprit.  The public usually hears about some damn “ham” operator causing trouble.  Of course it is not – most of the time.

    This appeared this morning on an intake email for the West Gulf Division — and contrary to the paragraph at the bottom of the email, the West Gulf Division did not subscribe to "hizbao.com". These folks are obviously buying email lists. Note their inability to spell check English.

    Couple this with the side Lee Cooper brought to our attention, and we have trouble in River City.
