What would be the reaction if Hams used 11m legally using their calls.

Could be identified but never would. Nobody gives a shit what you do on 11 meters.
 
Radio fingerprinting is a process that identifies a cellular phone or any other radio transmitter by the unique "fingerprint" that characterizes its signal transmission. An electronic fingerprint makes it possible to identify a wireless device by its unique radio transmission characteristics. Radio fingerprinting is commonly used by cellular operators to prevent cloning of cell phones. A cloned cell phone will have a same numeric equipment identity but a different radio fingerprint.
Essentially, each transmitter (cell phones are just one type of radio transmitter) has unique rise time signature when first keyed caused by the slight variations of component values during manufacture. Once the rise time signature is captured and assigned to a callsign, the use of a different transmitter using the same callsign is easily detected. Such systems are used in military signals intelligence and by radio regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for identifying illegal transmitters.

My reply to that would be that the signature of a radio operating in 11m would be skewed if you were to change the input voltage, output power level, mic gain, etc for starters.

Agree or disagree?
 
One would have to ask would the risk out way the benefits? sure and as stated in another thread one would have to be tracked and unlike cellphones cb radios do not emit any traceable code so unless said transmissions would have to be triangulated by some entity ;) and not some trio of rambo self policing brainyacks who seem to need something more full filling to subsidize their puny little existences.

Every transmission has an RF "fingerprint" that can be identified.

Again another person who only reads or hears what he wants too, as stated in my previous post the only entity who may give a rat's ass ain't gonna travel any distance to check on something that's totally not illegal(the fcc).

And as stated in my previous post the only one who will give a rat's ass is some self policing,knuckle dragger that I don't give a shit about.
 
Don't care to read anymore, I'm firing up channel 19 and pretending to be an overly "happy" pro151.
