What he's "going on" about is how to authenticate your communication without obscuring any of the information. This is necessary so that we don't abridge the right of all hams and non-hams to monitor Amateur Radio communications.
We might solve this problem just by amending the law to make it indisputable that we can communicate patient information in the clear during an emergency.
Thanks

Not sure what Thomas is on about. We know who the other station is, there may not be any repeater involved and usually the connection is direct. In some cases it could be on HF and may involve AX25 or Pactor. What the authorities worry about is the media snooping on the traffic. I remember a case at Katoomba Police Station where my radio displayed 7500 on the dial, the frequency was 147.500, and the media had been in the control room to do some filming and we later found them out in the car park with a scanner looking for 7500 ! That is the sort of situation that needs to be protected. Whatever it is it needs to be very simple, as inevitably an emergency will occur that brings in stations that have never been involved previously.
