True. Very likely that channel would be jammed into hell pretty quick. My suggestion: have a digital callsign related to your VIN built into the radio. And as much as I hate proprietary hardware, make the radio not work without it. If you tx without it, same or worse penalties as ie jamming a ham band.
That said I’m totally putting a botnet on the inter-car network and using it for a distributed pirate radio station lol
Of course. Im thinking of something like cb, but more casual. Keep using CB as-is for longer range important stuff with proper radio etiquette, but require the super short range yap network as basic local comms. And yeah gov’t could have a dedicated channel with high power for traffic alerts, give NOAA a channel, etc. Have the receive function work passively like a scanner.
