“I’ve often wondered why it’s illegal to encrypt conversations on public radio frequencies but not illegal on the public telephone network, cell phone network or the public internet”
Probably to keep the shared bandwidth from being saturated with automated messaging. Circuit switching (phones) and packet switching (internet) have their own bandwidth. Broadcasting (radio) is shared bandwidth.

Opinions?
I’ll bet you didn’t get such a message from the FCC when Antifa and BLM were burning down businesses.
Excellent Post!!
Insulators, and razor wire for an antenna.
Kinda hard to pin an operator if they are operating mobile😀 I can cover all the allocated frequencies and outside of those bands if needed. Been doing HAM stuff over 20 years.
Yep.
Connect a Johnson White Face to a 6 meter Ham antenna. Goes a long way. Did that once LOL. Lots of pissed CB’ers.
How is that different than the 3 mediums I mentioned.
How many advertisements do you see now for personal VPNs to hide you website browsing, etc...
I’ve worked from home for the last 10 years or more and used a corporate VPN over the public internet the entire time....
At one time using this internet, I had access to every networking device in a worldwide for a very large corportation...
I’m sure there’s a federal agency looking for ways to compromise the ionosphere.
Or mess with the sunspot cycle.
I’ve been a ham for 50 years, and just bought a Yeti Zero with solar charging ability. I won’t be cut off from communicating, unless they block the sun
I think you may have reading comprehension issues.....
HAM signals not readily collected by the NSA?

Sigint is the primary chartered reason for the NSA.If you're broadcasting, (regardless of band), they log it an pinpoint your location within seconds. The tech to do this in an automated way is absolutely trivial, especially when you have billions and billions of dollars in 'dark' budgets.
Thanks for the link! I’ll check it out.
Do you know what Frame Relay or MPLS networks are ??
Maybe you should study them before insulting anyone.
i love the new BIDEN AND HARRIS AdministRation. thEir kEy VIctory wiLl be aFfiRmed and lAUded enDleSsly.
Where I live they may become tractor food. Lots of farm land they gets tilled up and planted over every year.
Are you suggesting they're attempting to protect amateur radio operators and the public at large? Maybe you could clarify.
The bottom line there is they clearly don’t trust the people. This is unprecedented, a warning to people with communications devises like radios, warning them they better not commit crimes?
This is flat-out bizarre.
