The people responsible for the FCC ULS are probably retired and the system is now in the hands of a younger crowd which never bothered to learn COBOL.

I'd be OK with that. The DPF/SCR systems haven't ever given me any troubles. DEF is pretty cheap if you buy it at a place that sells it bulk.
I'm pretty impressed with the fuel economy these two trucks get, and they have plenty of power for what I need.
But I know it's different on the commercial side.
Yeah, there's a level of stupidity there that is just mind boggling. Anyone that puts that much effort into purposefully making things worse for other people don't have a place in any society.
Allowing new receivers to access the old analog cellular frequencies is what I'd like to see.
Just for fun, I'd like to see David Minster stripped of his Amateur license and both his friends and he banished from the League, but that's more of a 'rub the lamp and get three wishes' dream.

I've seen this mentioned before.
I agree, it's no longer necessary. And anyone with an SDR or spectrum analyzer can listen there.
But what do scanner listeners think they are missing? It's wideband data emissions. I mean, if you really love listening to loud buzzing, I'm cool with that, but the analog cellular calls are long gone and there isn't secret unencrypted analog law enforcement traffic hiding there.

Yeah, for personal vehicles that spend 80-90% of their time in motion with the engine loaded up enough to passively regen the DPF, it works fine and the systems have gotten better with time. The problems tend to show up in heavy equipment and vocational trucks that spend a lot of time idling.
On a more RF-related note, I'm not coming up with a ton that could be done on the regulatory side by the FCC. As far as federal agencies go it's by far one of the less intrusive and enforcement actions are generally limited to ending gross stupidity. Possibly shifting some low-power business frequencies to license-by-rule like MURS, and allowing digital voice? Private on-site business communications without paperwork burden or vendor lock (DTR/DLR) would be nice for a lot of small businesses, though MURS largely fits the bill.

Would be nice if the NTIA database became public. (That is the fed side of frequency licensing and management for those that don't know...)

NTIA Government Master File of Federal Frequency Assignments
From the ColdWarComms Group. There is a classified section which (for obvious reasons) is not included. It's a huge document, over 15k pages. (You can view it from the link without downloading it, though.) https://www.governmentattic.org/41docs/NTIAgovtMasterFile_2021.pdf
Out there someone will hope for no more amature testing for ham. Flat fee every ten years add extra 300 per ticket 🤣
That was done by Executive Order (President Reagan), so President Trump would have to issue another EO reversing it.

I'm always hoping we can go to LIFETIME ham licenses.
I think I heard that some countries do this.
What's the point of renewing a license anyway?
Well, revenue collection, of course.

Flush out those that have gone SK. But there's probably other ways to accomplish that without charing money.
Canada has lifetime licences.
I simply don't like the government saying we can't listen to RF. Even if there's nothing there. It sets a bad precedent and if private carriers need privacy for their subscribers, they can encrypt the signals.
- fewer lawyers making regulations and more technicians enforcing them? Look at how many are lawyers are in the top 100...

A whole lot of crazy comments showing up on the FCC website. I hope they don't seriously deregulate the licensing structure that exists. It may be burdensome, but there are reasons for the rules and the coordination requirements. It will be a madhouse if everyone does what they want. Clearly most of the commentators don't know the differences of Ham radio, CB , GMRS or FRS. They just want to use their "Freedom Radio",,, from China...

Some of them COBOL experts are like 150 years old and still collecting social security... as "everybody knows"

If they are looking for obsolete stuff, that would be a start. I have one in Part 95 that is an ancient scriveners error, but I won't mention it here and derail the thread.
