Profanity isn’t the only problem here ... it is illegal to transmit in the ham bands if you don’t have a license to do so, even if you don’t use profanity. So, do these cops get all bent out of shape if someone carries a gun without a license, or drives a car without a license? Same thing - except on the other side of their badges, I suppose.
Correct. Appropriate license required for the Ham band operated. Ham transmitters/transceivers cannot legally be used out of Ham bands, they are not type accepted for commercial or LEO frequencies. It is required that the operator identify with his call sign at the beginning and at each 10 minutes of operation. And other "minor stuff".
Do as they say, not as they do...
