  2. What about trunked 800Mhz systems? on US Sets Up Emergency Multi-Band Radio Project · · Score: 1

    Does anyone more familiar with the system or the DHS project know if there's any advantage to pushing this new system versus pushing a complete transition to a 800Mhz trunked frequency? It seems like many agencies are just now transitioning to the 800Mhz band to provide the same type of interoperability.

  3. Re:Hasn't Paypal done this for years? on PayPal Launches Virtual Debit Card · · Score: 1

I've been using the old system online for a while and I've never had a problem with websites needing a security code (I think entering 000 makes it work?)

The only people who could be held liable at the people who host the trackers and/or link to them.
