    If I transmit while on my dirtbike in the woods with my friends going 30mph and don't use the radio at all when at home can they really catch me? The transmissions started at point A if somehow you could trace the transmission it will go back to point A not follow me back on the bike 6 mile away by the time you get there. Also
    If let's say the radio had I sort of IP address leading it back to the radio how can you truly trace that I did it? You can't.

      Remember there is no such word as 'can't' in the dictionary. With the latest surveillance technology they are able to track people from birth to grave (and all bits between). Paranoia used to be an illness but now it is a reality. When they manage to automate the process it will be seamless. The only way to beat the system is to encourage more of your friends to do what you are doing.

    I'm now 53 yrs old.. Have not broken even a traffic law (I am lying) in decades... IF some fed wants to try to hunt me down by triangulation (ETC), that might actually be fun like I was a child.. I own a bunch of blow-fangs (etc).. I haven't actually used them in a while outside of point to point, or IF I actually need to bounce off a repeater.. My disgust really comes down not to the vaggies @ the FCC.. It are the HAM community in general.. Getting licensed at ANY level isn't rocket science.. However, this little bottom feeder clique is ancient irritating.. I went to a club meeting a few years back where i now live and these guys rivaled, or exceeded, the most irritating gossip talk than even what is still covered as board lady soap operas.. I will NEVER jam up a freq... Be a punk taunting people.. However, cry me a river if I want or NEED to utilize other people's equipment (relays) and I don't call sign at all. There is no secret genie in the HAM / GMRS bottle. Don't be a jerk and play games.. But, I'm with Mr. Anti-FCC-Social here (this channel).. I will transmit however often I actually feel like it (RARELY).. I'll "dial up" unused sections of the band when I am out on a hunt or hiking with other friends.. Thanks again for not just your research on related equipment.. No, you boldly calling things for what they are... Oh, and the vaggies trying to push the narrative..
