How many opted to get the GPS option for their 6500 or 6700?

I would love to see improvement in the policing of the amateur bands. I returned to ham radio after a long period of inactivity and I am appalled by the behavior of many operators.  I do not think defining bad behavior is very difficult.  Acceptable amateur operating practices are reasonably well codified.  I would add the GPS option to my Flex to participate in an effort to clean up the amateur bands.

It could be that the current OO program is effective, but I have seen no evidence.  For example, the mess on 14313 is well known and has apparently existed for years.  As far as I can tell, there is no readily apparent, easily accessible reporting mechanism.

I have sent screen shots from the Flex to a few blatantly QRM'ing operators, along with a nice message explaining how the splatter from their signal was essentially wiping out QSO's on either side of their frequency--QSO's that were in process before they started transmitting.  In turn, I have received replies thanking me for sending the information, as they were unaware that their signal was so wide.

Ignoring bad signals/improper operations is definitely not the right approach.

I'm glad to hear it, although I have seen virtually no evidence of enforcement.   I do think that we cannot, as many have suggested, ignore bad signals/operating practices.  I make it a point to contact the operator via email with documentation and I encourage others to do the same.  I think many times the "offender" is not particularly aware of the issue.

I know, for example, that drivers stopped by state police in this state as a result of a *SP call, are reportedly surprised and apparently unaware of their dangerous driving.

I practice "See Something, Say Something" ("Hear Something, Say Something") and I encourage others to do the same.  There is little point in complaining to each other.
