CAP has had a lot of in-fighting about FRS. Since FRS is "civilian"
and
we are under NTIA, there's been a lot of arguing about the legalities of it.
"Legalities?!?" :-) For an unlicensed radio service?!?
Don't show more ignorance than what you have already shown us, Lennie.
FRS is regulated under Part 95 of the FCC'S Rules and Regulations.
CAP, as a defacto federal agency (as attested to by the Department of
Defense, Department of the Air Force and the Attorney General of the United
States...) is obligated to operate under NTIA.
The criteria for federal agencies operating on FCC regualted radio
services is very narrow. "Routine" communications and communications
conducting the business of the organization are NOT "authorized" uses.
Opertional missions are not "legitimate" uses either, except where
inoperability or coordination with other rescue agencies is critical, are not
authorized either.
These "restrictions" are not solely applicable to CAP. They apply to all
other federal entities also.
Maybe nursie suggest using MARS.
Actually Civil Air Patrol has quite a few stations authorized to operate
in Air Force MARS, Lennie.
No, can't do that, nursie say "MARS IS amateur radio!"
:-)
Nursie made an "ace" of himself again.
No...you did, Lennie. By your lack of practical experience and
operational knowledge.
Putz..
