Can you purchase the IC-F7000 from anyone in the U.S. I believe that DHS/FEMA and DoD will stay with the Fed-Std/Mil-Std/STANAG for ALE. Other civilian and NGOs may choose another HF ALE standard.
But if you desire is to be able to contact or even lock-on to DHS/FEMA/DoD/NATO ALE signals, then follow what DHS/FEMA/DoD use. MARS may choose to use what they please. The Executive Order, which Congress has let stand and now has the affect of Public Law, says that DHS/FEMA/DoD and other Federal Agencies will have inter-operable HF systems. That means all of these will be using the SAME ALE standard. Does the IC-F7000 and VX-1700 use the DHS/FEMA/DoD (Fed-STD/Mil-Std)?
