Thoughts? All depends on how it's done and presented to the FCC. For years they said no to FM on 11M CB. Then one day, POOF, they said OK. While there is a crowd who don't like the idea that may become moot. In some areas digital voice modes are already in use, very much in violation of FCC regulations. If it becomes further widely practiced, like the mess with combo FRS/GMRS radios and people ignoring the license requirements, they will just throw in the towel, again, and make it legal. Saves them time, man power and money so they don't have to deal with the enforcement issues. That's basically what they did with the FRS/GMRS rule revisions in 2017. Just made what people were doing legal, then ignored the service. WSAG543 and WRXB215 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRYZ926 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 This is a commonly talked about topic here and on other radio related forums. Do a search on this forum. The majority are against any type of digital mode on GMRS. kirk5056 and gortex2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRXB215 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Not likely. This has been discussed ad-nauseum in a different thread. There are some for and some against but it seams the majority are against. The FCC isn't likely to give the issue any attention. gortex2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
