    I was actually well aware of that.
    It has no bearing on how to prevent people from DOSing each other.

    I never suggested it did. I only suggested some states would use it for that purpose.

    I simply cannot see how cannabis legalization has anything to do with states wanting to deprive people of civil rights. I have no trouble with states having their own laws, when those laws are not for the express purpose of discrimination.

    Would you consider the constitution to be one of those?

    So upholding civil rights is a left leaning thing?

    You really want to make that argument?

    Please find out the last time that law was enforced. I am going to get a good laugh out of that.

    1) That is not something I have yet thought of
    2) see 1
    3) what prevents this from happening now?
    4) see 3
    5) So ham radio has no time division at all? Everyone can broadcast on all frequencies at once and it works?
    What currently prevents one from DOSing the others then?

    If they recognize other marriages from that state, they should not be able to pick and choose.

    So states have the right to deprive people of rights?

    Can Alabama decide to have slaves again? Can they stop inter racial marriage?

    I would assume you would need to figure out how large their broadcast area and such.

    If there are that many and they shared one frequency and one broadcast area there would already be trouble.

    This is the same situation in public. People regularly use coarse language in public. An 8 year old has likely heard worse from television.

    I am not suggesting you curse like a sailor, just that it is a silly regulation.

    Openness would allow encryption. The open network I use, with an FOSS OS uses it daily.

    No, I am talking about less regulation over all.
    Only time limits and nothing else.

    I don't see how the need to regulate leads to these regulations. I can swear in public, I likely often do. I understand the need for some regulation, but it seems like a simple limit on how often one can use the resource would be far more valuable than these arbitrary restrictions.

    What is the difference between this DSTAR and encryption then? If I don't pay then it sure sounds like it is obscured to me.

    How does that change anything?

    If this is to be a hobbiest space why not allow more tinkering?

    This seems like one group with their own little world view that want to limit how others can use a resource.

    Sounds like they are regulating it incorrectly for 2013 then. Why worry about what, when you can easily control how often. Limit each participant to some amount.

    This whole thing has too much legacy cruft it seems like from the outside looking in.

    Why do you believe this to be the case?

    Governments of the world allow the internet and it supports encryption just fine. They also allow phones, which can do the same.

    How do you do that on the internet or POTS or any of the other networks out there?

    So you only want to do the public service so you can continue to keep using this resource for a very limited group of people?

    Do you know what that sounds like to the rest of the world? It sounds like we would be better off taking that resource away.

    Why not just remove those restrictions?

    From what I can tell most of these folks seem to hate Radio technology, if they could communicate by banging on the transmitter with a rock they would. They like outdated stuff and have very little interest in anything new.

    Encryption can be done with pen and paper if need be. Ever hear of one time pads?

    If we are too the point that this is infeasible your little radio network is not going to be useful for anything.

    Why?

    To me this sounds like something from the 30s. Do you have to have a silly mustache? Perhaps a big old chair to broadcast from?

    Or maybe make that network more free. What exactly is the point of this overly restricted network? Seems like a total waste of a resource.

    Are you serious you that you can't swear? What exactly constitutes a swear word in ham radio? Are you required to dress up like it is the 30s?
