If this legislation gets extended into, and it will knowing the government, digital devices, pagers, cellphones, Amateur Radio transceivers, CB radios, Family Radio Service radios and others would come under this act. Morse Code is a digital code - characters represented by binary signals of different lengths and constructs. I would find it to be terribly amusing and Orwellian to see a legal, homebrew Amateur Radio transceiver that is designed to strictly send and receive Morse Code (a DIGITAL signal)have to have this governmentally ordered system to prevent someone from sending out the back door password to Windows by Morse Code.
I agree that this is a huge stretch but given the children in Washington....Give them a rope, they will make a noose around your neck.
