Posted by timothy on from the likely-excuse dept.

Eric Schlaepfer writes "Here's another great toy for your wish list! ICOM manufactures the highly advanced IC-R3 portable scanner/television set. Besides picking up radio stations in the frequency range of 0.495-2450MHz, the IC-R3 also receives regular television signals, amateur television, and wireless security camera signals."

    you unbearable stupid fucking idiot. 1) if you were making a joke, it is the worst joke on slashdot this year. 2) if you are serious, and I find out, I will have to consider destroying the human race to save us the embarassment should we someday meet interstellar neighbors.

    I can tell you that most people's conversations are relentlessly boring. Nosy, boring, and illegal... hardly worth it.

    Except for the illegal part, you've described HAM RADIO. Relentlessly boring. At least the CB'ers have some fun. Why are 99.99% of hams cranky old white men? The only fun to be had on the ham bands is listening to these clueless old fucks talk about computers and the internet. You'd think that someone that spent months learning morse code could figure out something as simple as TCP/IP.

    Kids, getting a ham license is the biggest waste of time in the world. If you want to have fun with radios consider outlaw operation on CB and frequencies nearby CB. Channel 6 (27.025) is the SUPERBOWL for high power AM long-distance operations (DX). The frequencies about channel 40 are great for DX using SSB, and AM dx-ing is alive and well below channel 1.

    If the trailer-park atmosphere on CB is too much to stomach you can find lots of plans and kits online for your very own pirate FM broadcast station.

    What every you do, just SAY NO to HAM RADIO!
