May I ask why? Why would they care if some of the people that use ham radio are unlicensed?
- vvanders 7y agoThere are protocols and sequences that mush be respected if you don't want to say "DDoS" a repeater frequency or diverge from band plans. It's really common to have split frequency inputs on repeaters(+/- 600Hz or so on VHF) so even if a channel sounds clear you could be stomping on everything in a 40 mile radius. PL tones mitigate this somewhat but given the sparse, shared aspect of frequency allocations you want people who are properly educated.
