Unbelievable!!! I would like to know when this person had his last urine 
analysis test as he is obviously on drugs.

I would like to see the radio that anyone in the radio nobby world would 
have that could cause interference to any 380-400 MHz LMR system. In truth, 
it is their systems that are causing interference to part 15 devices (i.e. 
Eglin AFB and others have been causing problems to civilian garage doors).

Well its great that Lindsey does the honorable thing, but honestly I guess I 
am the traitor and threat to this nation's national security. I have, will 
and continue to publish this info until the day I am ready to take the 
eternal dirt nap (i.e. Tango Uniform). And if the military doesn't like it 
then spend some money on encryption or find a way to stop their signals from 
leaving the fence line of the base.

To the three individuals that Mike mentioned above having sent those letters 
to RR, they will be hearing from me shortly and the old Chief is going to 
raise hell. They better hope they have a federal law that backs them up (but 
I know they don't).

Am I furious, yes. I thought our folks in uniform had a bit more sense than 
this. But I guess it is time they get an education and I know a Navy Chief 
that can do just that.

In the meantime Mike, if have them you can send any and all updates over to 
me. I am toying with the idea of posting information on the bases that have 
withdrawn their info from RR to the MT website. And they can send me letters 
all day, I hope they do (they will find file 13).

73 all and good hunting,
