True, Craig, but only under the control of a licensed ham. Allowing non-hams
with DV Dongles to talk on D-Star removes that control.

97.115c  No station may transmit third party communications while being 
automatically controlled except a station transmitting a RTTY or data emission. 

 
If i go digital then i can use a ham radio for what ever i want ? what are 
you saying that no licenses are needed  If so then why even test ??
 
Lets get rid of licenses .
 
Now I'm realy lost .

 This is getting real interesting, general quires expanded to fit ones 
illusions of total license operation No.? Referenced 97.115 (b) concerns 3rd 
party traffic I believe under supervision and Control of a control Op. Sounds 
like one of those test questions on the Extra test. it goes back to the 
question is the originator or the relaying station license holder held 
responsible? And what of the recipient station? ( if said station passes on 
traffic) When in doubt. diplomatically decline such traffic. A whole can of 
worms in the broad sense. Common Sense should prevail. To err in the 
conservative is better than to err with penalties or license loss.

SOMEONE made the statement that the rules allow unlicensed people to use ham 
bands ...
Sorry if my comment was attached to your reply. I'm not attacking anyone just 
trying to understand where and when we would need a license under the " REVISED 
" rules.
 
The problem here seems that some are looking to change rules they seem outdated 
to what ever agenda they have... and allow non hams to use ham radio to 
forward messages and conduct business.
 
That's all I'm asking .

Bruce,

Time to wake up pal. No one here is or has advocated that licenses are 
not needed. Unlicensed people can
talk on amateur radios under the guidance of a licensed amateur only.

Try to stay on topic and not stray.
