APRS - switching off.. .. switching back on!

I'm switching off all my APRS equipment as of today. Just have been told that 9W's AA has no F1D/F2D in the emission code table, hence is not legal to transmit digital over 2m/VHF. I'm taking down all my previous postings on APRS so that they will not confuse the rest of us and I'll take them back online after the issue has been resolved.

Update: Just realised that even 9M's AA does not have this 'Digital' mode too.


Update 2: As of today, we've got a very good backing saying that it is not illegal to work on APRS. I'm turning back on my APRS digi/igate .. and my mobile too!

sapa cakap mid mcmc ke? kalau kita tak bleh operate APRS sapa lagi, kot ada kelas lain selain dari 9m2 & 9w2...!??

kalau ikut buku SoP yg dah ketinggalan zaman tu memang tak ada:

Kelas A (9m2): Class of emmission A1A, A2A, A3E, F1A, F2A, F3E, J3E, R3E, A3C, C3F.... Read More

Kelas B (9w2): Class of emission A3E, F1A, F2A, F3E, J3E, R3E.

F2D tak ada, bermakna kelas A pon tak bleh pakai APRS. hampeh...

ada kelas baru kot bagi kampeni jual alarm kereta...

Salam Mid,

Tak heran bende ni berlaku. Sungguhpun Bob Bruniga duk experiment idea APRS ni dari tahun 70an, cuma around 1998 baru Kenwood keluarkan rig dengan APRS capability. Dan 1998 CMA baru nak buat. Masa tu ham yg ada kat sini pun mungkin tak terfikir pasal APRS, kalau tahu pun mungkin tak minat. Kalau kita tengok sejarah 60-70an kebanyakan ham operate HF SSB or CW. VHF pun lewat 70an baru sampai sini. 9M2RUK =1975. 1978 ham ada dalam 250 orang. Itu pun berapa kerat yang mampu VHF. 1997 baru keluar 9W2. Lepas tu baru ham population bertambah. Masa tu dapat FM mode + voice pun dah gah. Besar kemungkinan Idea APRS ni bleh kata tak sampai sini lagi masa CMA98 digubal & masa Guidelines for Amateur Radio in Malaysia (Guidelines) tu dibuat., Sebab tu F1D/F2D tak dimasukkan dlm class of emission utk 9M / 9W.

Memang ada banyak loopholes dlm Amateur Radio Service. Satu daripadanya dan amat menyedihkan ialah berkenaan Reciprocal license. Kenapa ramai ham duk bantai pemegang reciprocal license, kenapa tak duduk dengan MCMC dan get rid of the loopholes? Begitu juga dengan penggunaan Echolink. Guidelines tak de sebut apa yang boleh dan tak boleh buat dengan Echolink. Bila kita guna Echolink, maka adalah suara-suara yang akan menghentam dibelakang. Silap haribulan kita kena *&^%$ kang pasal link repeater ke Echolink tanpa kebenaran. Ha ha ha ha ..

Guidelines tu memang SANGAT PERLU diperbaiki. Soal nahu tu aku tak nak komen. Tapi kita duk kata SOP .. SOP, cuba cari dari kulit depan sampai ke muka terakhir guideline tu ada tak dia sebut Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)? Kebetulan pulak perkataan "guidelines" tu implikasinya tak sama dengan SOP.

Akhir sekali, aku setuju dengan apa yang hang cakap. Kita ni ikan bilis ... IARU tak recognise plak tu. Tapi kalau MCMC nak bayar aku untuk edit Guidelines tu ... anytime ... ha ha ha ...

Wasalam.
