Sounds similar to the regulations we now have here in the UK, although the
law here is specifically limited to cellular devices, normal 2-way radio equipment is exempt, so we amateurs are ok, Same situation here in Australia. Although I always felt that the only thing that made "two way radio" exempt from the regs was that the police and ambulance guys would then be unable to use their radios without a second operator. I wonder if they have thought of that in the US? -- Jack VK2CJC / MM0AXL FISTS# 9666 www.qsl.net/vk2cjc MSN messenger ID - my email address Yahoo messenger ID - vk2cjc |

I wonder if they have thought of that in the US? Most likely not; legislators rarely consult with people familiar with the areas in which they legislate, unless they've received sufficient campaign donations. There are a number of bills pending before the Minnesota legislature intended to regulate the use of cellphones and the like in automobiles; one, if passed and enforced as written, would completely outlaw use of all radios of any kind in automobiles, under any circumstances. -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |
