firebus29 I under stand that the info should be here, Also if you put so
much thought in this post, you should put some thought in writing or talking to some of are state
and govt Political peolpe asking them why they are passing laws to encrypt and to censor radio
freqs or systems. Eugene and Springfield PD and soon Lane County SH are encrypting on all or
some of there TG on new system. ???
I believe that you are mixing apples with oranges as these are two distinctly different issues.
In answer to your suggestion of quizzing politicians as to their reasoning (in relation to
encryption), who in the hell knows why politicians do anything. Even if one of them would respond to
such an inquiry, I would certainly not place much validity in their answers.
The mis-use of the frequency last week was probably just as icom1020 postulates, a child with
access to an official fire radio. I believe that we can rest assured that it was not caused by any
information found in the Radio Reference database. Removal of DB information would not
deter children from their mischief, nor would it change any political actions in reference to
encrypting land mobile radio. Such exclusion (censoring) would not benefit any public service
agency in any manner. It would only serve to deprive legitimate hobbyists of a hassle-free
manner of recovering valid information.
I have put some thought into the issue and conclude that this is not an on-going problem here in
Douglas County and most certainly does not warrant the removal of information from our
database.
Thanks.
