Great Idea!0

This has been suggested in the passed and it has not been accepted by FRS. I don't remember if a reason has ever been given.0 -
It is on the list, but there are a lot of other features ahead of it.0

O.K. Thanks Tim0

This brings up a question.I was looking at the roster on the forum and I came up with the following conclusion.
Why add the feature of "Instant Callsign indent"?
After all many members do not bother to enter their name or Callsign in their posting.
Is it possible that they do not want us to know who or where they are?
I noticed that Tim said "is on the list". But, will we be able turn it off/on at will?

Earnest if the ham is complant with the rules he is giving his or her call sign every 10 minutes so a constant updating on the radio would be neat! Hard to have privacy on a The airways.0

I'm sure it would be optional, no reason it wouldn't be, but of course that's up to the designers/developers.
Something that might be simpler to implement (but not nearly as cool) would be something like an automatic spotter network. When you transmit, it uploads callsign/frequency to a central database on a website. Then the client could "subscribe" (push notifications) to updates on the band that you're on.
Having said that, personally I'd put this pretty far down the wishlist as Tim suggested earlier. Awesome idea though.0 -
Dale,When they (who ever they are) properly would disable the ID's; just like they do here on this forum. I for one don't mind finding other Flexers. It would give us more things to talk about and exchange pleasantries.
Or another idea with the ID's, perhaps Flex would sponsor a contest etc...

Wouldn't this be sending data in the phone segment and therefore not a Good Thing?0

Michael raises an interesting question. We currently send sub-audible tones as part of many voice communications via repeaters. Clearly, this proposal is very different than the sub-audible tones we transmit to enable repeater access and reception.
Taken a step further, we could transmit sub-audible tones at a mutually-agreed frequency in a data sub-band which includes the call sign and current operating frequency and mode of the voice station. Then listening stations could opt to join the voice communications, or not.

I thought about this a couple of years back -- the idea was to encode the callsign in phase information which is not really useful in sideband. It's a fun project we may look into at some point. Subaudible tones could also work, but would be called out by operators that can hear them in their passband ("hey, you have some low frequency tones in your signal -- do you have a power supply problem?")0
