CB radio and ham radio has recently been outlawed in Ontario, Canada as part of the cell phone ban while ddriving. No, this is not another case of vagurly or broadly worded law. This was deliberate. And if it can happen in Canada, which it did, it can also happen in the U.S Notice the CB and ham radio excuse of using microphones being safer doesn't hold any water with the government lawmakers: And I've seen the same similar description elsewhere of lawmakers in the U.S. saying two way radios are even more dangerous than cell phones because of all the buttons and dials and cord on the microphone which has to be hand held. This is no big deal. All you need is a bluetooth device with vox to accomplish the task. For truckers this does make since, becuase they need both hands free for the wheel and the trucks gears. I think the impact on four wheelers is going to be very small since CB has basically died for most drivers. It won't be a problem for hams either since they can use VOX & Bluetoothdevices to talk. If this law was passed thirty years ago it would be a problem, but with all the high tech gear that can solve such problems it will be easy to adapt for the changes in the law. -- Best Regards, Keith | http://home.comcast.net/~kilowattradio/ Tired of Google Groups?
