<font color="#003333"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">My thoughts, when I read your post, were about the 'new' un-type-approved Chinese radios that seem to threaten a renewed radio economy except that the Chinese like to stick things like "scrambler" in these offerings. Something that would prevent them from being accepted without the blink of an eye. If the laws were changed then it would be easier to let these new products through unchanged.</font></font><div>

<div>Everything in this article is based on fact, but the basic

amateur radio is to survive at all, there needs to be some
compromises made. Allowing unbridled encryption would be a
very good start.<br>

Hi Drew,<br>
<br>
I'm not sure you understand what ham radio is for. We have Part 15
radio for unbridled encryption, as well as some other kinds of
licensed commercial radio. And of course we also have the global
internet for this.<br>
<br>
Thanks<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
