Droll... very droll... Trouble is that there is still a risk that just as pull into the station you transmit a signal and somebody filling up on the other side of your pump gets toasted. Then switch it off before you go into the filling station. Seriously how are most mobile packet setups wired? Are they wired into the ignition which would turn the radio off when you turn off the engine? The problem with this is that if someone steals your car and parks it somewhere you won't be able to determine its location. I think you may be misunderstanding something - Most mobile APRS installations use a transceiver and a normal ham antenna, they are not clandestine installations. So if someone steals your car, unless they are stupid, they will very probably switch it off. However, wiring it via the ignition does not solve your perceived problem, unless you are in the habit of switching off the engine and coasting up to the pump!
