There are millions of 2m transceivers, some of which have appreciable power output. Attempting to operate drones on this band would be seriously stupid, even if other uses (which are historically solidly entrenched) would be banned.

Forgive the pun but I don't think this will fly.

Here is a better article:

And without an irritating ad-blocker detector, if you want your stuff to be read don't block it with this sort of nonsense.



It would be a shame if, in the event this passes, all those transmitters were to squeal across the spectrum in a coordinated fashion and render the spectrum basically unusable... hehehe.


That'd cost a lot of hams their operating licences...

Though there is precedent for it -- from back in the days of the "Russian woodpecker", an OTH RADAR system. Some used to key up and play various sounds at it...



Icom just come out the the IC-9700 with the primary band being 2m at 100w. I thought this site was better with the additional link near the end, plus it is from someone in France.

Or start surfing with Javascript off as default. The popup must be JS-based as I can't see it. :)

Just click it away.


> Just click it away.

Just like this bit about them re-allocating the band away from Morse-using hams.

Just click the interference away. Keep clicking and nobody will be able to use the frequency.


Nah! While I see where you're coming from, this is totally different.
