In this episode I explain what an "unlocked" ham radio or unlocked GMRS radio is. I explain what it means when a GMRS radio or ham radio is locked and the difference between an unlocked ham radio and a GMRS radio. I also discuss some of the FCC rules about using an unlocked ham radio and I talk about how amateur radio operators often react to people using unlocked GMRS radios on the amateur radio bands. Everything discussed in this video pertains to virtually all ham radios and GMRS radios such as the Baofeng UV-5R ham radio but this also applies to brands other than Baofeng such as Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom ham radios.
