Officially, no, not under any circumstances, however, prosecution may
perhaps be waived if the situation genuinely prevented loss of life and
was used as an absolute last resort.
Tsunami or not, I don't see that this has anything to do with
programming a Beofeng up to work on a business frequency.

Jon,
There is nothing wrong with being a newbie. All of us started there.
1) In this particular situation, the original person was asking for
information on programming a radio to operate on a Public Service
frequency.
2) In the US (and probably elsewhere) to be legal to make such adjustments
and/or to operate such a radio, a person has to have the appropriate
training and certification and licensing from the Federal Communications
Commission.
3) The question that was asked screamed "I have no idea what I'm doing and
I'm not licensed to be doing it."
Now, what is your opinion of the event?
PS - What FCC licenses do you have and which ones are you considering
adding?

Hello list,
This is going to come across as a dumb newbie question (because in this
context it is), but...
How does one get to "having any business transmitting" without asking
questions? I assume ham courses/exams are a good starting point, right?
Genuinely curious because I'm considering expanding my FCC licenses and
to
be truthful, reading the FCC docs is just...well it's not something I'd
set
aside a Saturday to do.
Thanks,
Jon

Yep. And do you understand that being an asshole to someone just
reflects
what shitty person you are? But hey, keep on digging that hole deeper
to
try and prove how superior you are to stroke your petty ego because
someone
asked a question on what is supposed to be a helpful mailing list.

Scott, do you understand the terms 11K0F3E and 16K0F3E?
Anyone who does not has no business programming a radio to commercial
frequencies.

None of you know the full situation under which they are asking. So
you
all just assume, have an attitude and gatekeep. Sad because it’s
attitudes
like this that turn people off on radio communication.
Justify yourselves all you want, it’s still rude.

Not at all, Scott. I believe that anyone using a radio with TX
capability should know, or knows the agent who knows, how to setup
the,
obviously, non authorised tranciever. It would be irresponsible for
someone
on the list to educate an unauthorised person to intercept or Jam
frequencies to which he is not permitted access.

You don't need a tone for listening and you likely don't have any
business transmitting.
