>Take a look at eqso.org Aside from FRS, interesting thing about this, is that they are very careful to treat the VoIP part under the same rules as FCC HAM i.e. if I were in Canada and I was using, say, Asterisk or VoIP in general to hook into this thing with it's transmitter in the US, technically, I wouldn't be allowed to talk on that freq. because I wasn't licensed to use that freq in the US, even though the transmitter/owner is licensed correctly in the US!
Seems odd, because I believe the rules were established at least in part to avoid crosstalk issues etc. But it seems VoIP changes the rules a bit here. What if I was a licensed HAM and I was in Canada and using VoIP to talk to my transmitter in the US? Is that ok? I can think of all kinds of wierd scenarios. I know of the rule that prevents you from interfacing PSTN to HAM, but what about VoIP? Unregulated. As far as the FCC is concerned, my Asterisk box is the same as a Linksys hub. To the hams on the list: How can something like this be policed? Is there a ruling, or precedent on this? My 10 second google didn't turn up anything close. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
