What about gmrs call signs? Will those be added also?
I think not they are long and I have never heard anyone using them. Since the FCC really just wants you money in order to get one it doesn't have the same weight as the ham.

Just a heads up when posting your ham call signs.... a quick Google search gives anyone your address listed with the FCC. so... privacy and security and all....
True, not worried though. For those that are, you can use a po box.

I just received my call sign KM6YSI. now I just need to decide what mobile radio i’m going to get for my rig.
If you haven’t gotten a radio yet I purchased the TYT 7800 and have had very good luck with it. A lot of radio for the money. Works great for 2M/70CM (2M/440) if that’s all your working under.

2 extra digit's....7 instead of 5. Would be nifty to have them stacked in your Sig. I'm not a programmer, so no idea how hard that would be to write code for it. After all, it's all about being legal :grinning:

Industry Canada allows us to request civic address be removed from public domain. That said, APRS can often blow your cover. Lol!
Most APRS radios have ambiguity setting. Works just fine.
