NotARubicon Productions

You can see some of my off-roading videos that I mentioned in this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLku2B9MS_IIRAa80infA7M-7mUmCNopW5&si=KuU-X5Qy7hgKUDfj and you can see some my older Jeeping videos in this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLku2B9MS_IITvzQ0mFGnc_jiyOiHG92z8&si=dIkrBBkwuMg6NvbR In this video I delve into the origin-story of the "NotARubi" color theme that you find installed on many Wouxun GMRS handheld radios. I explain what the "NotArubi" or "NotARubicon" means, I tell you about why my Youtube channel is named "NotARubicon" and I talk about the off-road and Jeeping videos I used to make. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this short video I demonstrate how you can send digital text or SMS type messages over any GMRS radio, ham radio, or even FRS & MURS radios. I talk about the FCC rules regrading sending digital data or digital messages over GMRS and I show you how easy it is to use the Rattlegram app on either Android or iOS to send digital txt messages on any ham radio or GMRS walkie-talkie radio. ►►► Like my shirt?

Because the Raddy RF 320 is virtually exactly the same as the Retekess TR112 Shortwave radio, this is like a 2-for-1 video review. Both of these shortwave radios are small, portable, and easy to use and are very capable shortwaves that will let you listen to both local AM/FM as well as VHF, weather-band and shortwave frequencies. ►►► Like my shirt?

This video is an update to a video I posted a few months ago about deleting comments from my Youtube videos (and much of it also applies to Rumble). I explain why I delete comments from my Youtube videos and I talk about why many channel owners and Youtube creators may also delete comments on their videos. I also explain how to tell if your comment was deleted by the Youtube creator or by Youtube itself. Many people may consider this youtube censorship, and maybe it is censorship by either Youtube or the creator, but both the Youtube channel owner / Youtube creator have a right to censor or moderate comments on their channel or the Youtube platform. Some people have also proclaimed that it is illegal for Youtube to delete comments or that it violates the United States Constitution to censor comments left on Youtube videos, so I also talk about that accusation. ►►► Like my shirt?

In what could be the worst video I have ever made, born purely of boredom and desperation because there is no GMRS or ham-radio stuff to talk about, and in what is obviously a ploy to gain clicks and Rumble views, in this poorly thought-out video I talk about the recent accusations made against me by several amateur radio and ham radio enthusiasts. These ham radio operators, aka "sad-hams" accuse me of destroying ham radio by encouraging people with no ham-radio license to talk on their ham-radios and also claim that I am personally responsible for the damage to the amateur radio hobby caused by other people. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this video I grapple with the existential quandary of whether or not I should get an FCC ham radio operator license. I have had a GMRS license for a long time but I never bothered getting an amateur radio license because I had no desire to be a HAM radio operator. But many ham operators have declared that I should not discuss radio, radio theory, antennas or anything related to radio-communicaitons if I do not have a ham license. So I present the question "should I get a ham radio license"? or, do I even need a ham license? Note to the Karens: The radio used in this video is a Baofeng UV-5R GMRS-version radio which is FCC part 95 approved from use on GMRS frequencies, of which I am licensed to transmit on. All transmissions made from this radio in this video were done in accordance with the FCC Part 95 rules. ►►► Like my shirt?

Many ham-radio operators have claimed that ARRL advisory notices are "FCC Enforcement Actions", and carry the weight of law for not only amateur radio but also for CB Radio and GMRS. In this video I clarify exactly what the ARRL is, what a Advisory Notice From the ARRL is, and how it differs from a contact or enforcement from the FCC. I also explain if ARRL polices and monitors other frequencies and radio-bands such as CB radio or GMRS Radio. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this video I explain what the FCC does, and where the FCC gets its funding and money. I also talk about what the FCC does well, and what the FCC is not so great at doing including enforcing the FCC rules on ham radio, CB radio and GMRS. I also touch on FCC fines, the rollout of 5G, and the FCC's war on pirate radio stations. Finally I touch on how the FCC is part of the United States government and how the U.S. Government is not corrupt, not run by elites, and has never done anything wrong. ►►► Like my shirt?

You can find the FCC Enforcement Database here: https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/orders In this video I explain if you need a ham radio license to use a Baofeng UV-5R. The UV5R is a ham radio, and according to the FCC rules you need an amateur radio aka ham radio license to use a Baofeng, or any other ham radio. But what will happen if you use a UV-5R or other ham radio with no FCC license? Watch the video for the exciting and controversial truth. Minor note: I accidentally picked up my UV-5R GMRS version radio (it looks exactly like the UV5R ham radio) to use while filming this video, so because I have a GMRS license, I am fully authorized and permitted to transmit on this particular Baofeng "UV-5R GMRS" radio. So, no FCC laws, guidelines or regulations were violated to make this video. ►►► Like my shirt?

In this video I explain the difference in MY definition of an emergency and a SHTF situation, and when the FCC says you may or may not legally use a ham radio, GMRS radio or any radio with or without an FCC license. Hopefully this will clarify what I mean when I talk about using a ham radio for emergency communications without a license vs using a GMRS or ham radio with no license during a SHTF scenario such as WWIII, civil war, pandemic or other global or regional catastrophe - like World War 3 ►►► Like my shirt?

This applies to a ham radio such as the Baofeng UV-5R and all hand held HTs, GMRS radios, and even hand-held CB radio walkie talkies. Whether you have a ham radio license, a GMRS radio license, are if you are using a licence-free radio such as a CB radio or FRS walkietalkie, it is important to know the correct way to hold the radio and talk & transmit so that your signal can reach as many farz as possible. ►►► Like my shirt?
