# Ham Operators
|
|
|
|
(This written US only, may be applicable elsewhere)
|
|
|
|
Meshtastic can be used by both unlicensed people and licensed operators.
|
|
|
|
Having a ham radio license grants you addition privilages and restrictions.
|
|
|
|
# Additional privilages
|
|
|
|
- Additional power
|
|
- Higher gain antennas
|
|
|
|
# Restrictions
|
|
|
|
- Unencrypted
|
|
- Identified with your ID
|
|
|
|
# Let's do it!
|
|
|
|
Remember, by doing this you are self certifying that you are licensed operate in the mode you have chosen. Failure to comply with your local regulations may result in fines.
|
|
|
|
## Use the Python CLI
|
|
|
|
Meshtastic is designed to be used without a radio operator license. If you do have a license you can set your operator ID and turn off encryption with the [Python CLI](/docs/software/python/python-uses#ham-radio-support):
|
|
|
|
```shell title="Expected Output"
|
|
# You should see a result similar to this:
|
|
mydir$ meshtastic --port /dev/ttyUSB1 --set-ham KI1345
|
|
Connected to radio
|
|
Setting Ham ID to KI1345 and turning off encryption
|
|
Writing modified channels to device
|
|
```
