The post implies you aren’t qualified to operate a ham radio yet own one, so that’s like saying you just bought a car and you intend to learn how to use it; no one would automatically think you WERENT going to operate it before you were qualified to do so. Not only that but having it and not knowing the operation just further enables you to use it improperly/illegally without knowing any better. Also I’m sure buying it before learning anything about them made it an informed purchase, but YOU’RE the professional here…
So you’re planning to illegally use the ham radio? In which case you should probably get a license just to familiarize yourself with how they operate… Or at least act like you are, get a study guide at the least.
