Hams in the metro NY area has been dealing with this clown for years; disrupting and interfering with nets and QSOs,
using offensive or inflammatory language on air, threatening other stations, and being a general asshole. Fingers crossed this goes somewhere. "A New York City man faces a fine of $23,000 for operating on Amateur Radio frequencies without a license and for transmitting a false officer-in-distress call on a New York City Police Department (NYPD) radio channel. The FCC issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) on August 31 to Daniel Delise of Astoria. It details a history of complaints and alleged illegal radio operation on Delise’s part that dates back to 2012." FCC Proposes Substantial Fine for Unlicensed Amateur Operation, False Police Call |
|
The FCC fine may not be at the top of Delise’s list of worries, however. According to Lisenco, Delise now is serving prison time resulting from the false police call and his guilty pleas to other charges. So, he probably would still be at it IF he didnt go playing with the cops. |

Colo-rectal reconstruction surgery has to be more than that, so I'll say......a Extra Large butt plug?

I have no problem with this. IF he straightens up after he gets out. But like someone said, guess what his first Amazon order is going to be? Actually a Bronx party hat would probably do more good as he likely ain't going to have any money to pay the fine. |

Wait,
A couple of weeks later, the NYPD informed an FCC field agent that it had taken Delise into custody for “sending out false radio transmissions” over the NYPD radio system and for possessing radios capable of operating on NYPD frequencies, in violation of state law. NYPD uses channels around 476MHz. Baofengs can transmit on 400-480MHz. Does this mean that Baofengs are all illegal in New York? |

I don't see how possessing a radio could be illegal, while granted if your not licensed to operate on certain frequencies and are conducting transmissions are. This just has the potential to hurt all of us with these idiots.... When they start interfering with .GOV the liberals are gonna cry and may start passing more laws to "prevent" this from happening again

It's the 'use of' where they get caught. Might be illegal in NY but how do you enforce that.(possession) hth 73, Rob |

Albany and NYC do all sorts of stupid things like SAFE and "gravity knives," so I was wondering if this was just another instance or poor reporting or something else. |

... Does this mean that Baofengs are all illegal in New York? We know that NY loves to prohibit crazy things like standard sized soft drinks and standard capacity magazines, single cigarettes, etc. so a $30 Chinese radio would fit right in. This is probably alongside their stupid scanner law (which exempts hams kinda-sorta, and more solidly in case law). And there is also this (from RR forum): P.R. Docket 91-36 (a.k.a., FCC 93-410). In it, the FCC holds that lower-level laws restricting the usage out-of-band-capable transceivers by licensed hams are preeempted by federal law. So yeah, in NY your Baofeng is probably illegal (along with lots of other things) - but you are apparently exempt if you are a ham, or have a special permit issued by a county or other local authority. |

If I can decode P25 by connecting a radio to my PC, I don't see why it couldn't be packetized before transmission. The protocol details are out there. Many public safety radios that use P25 also have the option of going analog since analog will work in much crappier conditions than digital. I'm also interested in this NY "law" that restricts radios that can TX in police bands. The UV-5X3 will TX 420-520.99MHz. Going to do some research. ETA: P25 is not necessarily encrypted. It just provides the option to AES encrypt since we are now dealing with digital. I would guess that most P25 traffic is not encrypted since running an AES processor would just suck more battery life. |

INTERFERENCE WITH RADIO FREQUENCY LICENSED TO GOVERNMENT ENTITY. (a) A person commits an offense if, without the effective consent of the law enforcement agency, fire department, or emergency medical services provider, the person intentionally interrupts, disrupts, impedes, jams, or otherwise interferes with a radio frequency that is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to a government entity and is used by the law enforcement agency, fire department, or emergency medical services provider. (b) An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor, except that the offense is a state jail felony if the actor committed the offense with the intent to: (1) facilitate the commission of another offense; or (2) interfere with the ability of a law enforcement agency, a fire department, or an emergency medical services provider to respond to an emergency. (c) In this section: (1) "Emergency" has the meaning assigned by Section 38.15. (2) "Emergency medical services provider" has the meaning assigned by Section 773.003, Health and Safety Code. (3) "Law enforcement agency" has the meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure. (d) If conduct constituting an offense under this section also constitutes an offense under another section of this code, the actor may be prosecuted under either section or under both sections. Added by Acts 2009, 81st Leg., R.S., Ch. 1222 (S.B. 1273), Sec. 1, eff. September 1, 2009. ETA: Found the NY law S 195.07 Obstructing governmental administration in the first degree. A person is guilty of obstructing governmental administration in the first degree when he commits the crime of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree by means of interfering with a telecommunications system thereby causing serious physical injury to another person. Obstructing governmental administration in the first degree is a class E felony. |
