"Dave VanHorn" wrote in message ... It does seem like a step in the right direction. Amen. It weakens all their regulatory efforts, when they allow something like this to continue for years. It does prove when a group effort is made to complain about a problem to the FCC that action will sooner or later be taken. It took some years for the Ham community asking the FCC to get rig of the unlicensed 10m operators but they are finally moving on the issue. At best, it will get rid of the "off the shelf" rigs, and force them to buy ham rigs, or do it underground with mods. It will go a LONG WAY to eliminate the ignorant users, i.e. those who buy a radio with "extra" channels all ready in them, from the across-the-counter-dealers. This would be mostly your typical truck-stop CB chop-shop. Only some serious field enforcement will make an impact on the use. Check the truck drivers at the weight stations. Find a non FCC aproved CB radio, and no Ham ticket, give them a big fine and take the radio on the spot. The truckers will get the word out, to the general CB user population, that the ax is coming down on the use of non FCC aproved radios on 11m. -- Leland C.
