Default Problem for boaters and APRS?

N2EY doesn't mind at all. Gives him an excuse for not answering the
hard questions.

With respect to GPS, it is not a "free market." The Department of
Defense developed it. One of the capabilities built in is Selective
Availability which injects an error into the unencrypted signals. This
is so that the military can continue to use it, and deny the best
accuracy to an enemy on the battlefield. Another capability is to
encrypt the signal, and turn off the unencrypted signal denying access
to an enemy on the battlefield. No free market about it. now we've
got Hans saying "It's my right, It's my right to have free access to a
DoD weapons system!"

Boo, hoo, hoo.


Perhaps the excuse for whining is that the USN began the
development of GPSS under the original NAVSTAR project
acronym? [Hans was a USN super chief] :-)

I was representing RCA at NAS Warminster when NADC was
in its second year of NAVSTAR test flights. One of the test
bed aircraft was an RA-2, shared among two other projects, one
of which was SECANT developed by RCA. [circa 1971-1972]

All of that eyewitness experience is "no good" in here since all
expertise in anything is granted to any Amateur Extra that
knows, loves, and cherishes morse code.

Jim, what are the right problems to focus on? Who is the right enemy?


So you answered for N2EY that the trade deficit caused by petroleum
imports is the enemy and the problem that we should focus on.


I love those focussed discussions on amateur radio policy matters.

Too bad there aren't any to be found in here...

enemy?


The "right enemy" is anyone advocating the elimination of the
morse code test for any AMATEUR radio operator license. :-)
