While I would like to cheer this development... As a CAP member for 3+ decades, I fear a huge amount of "spam" reports + malicious broadcasts from those who either stole the beacons or..., bought them and broadcast for "Fun"...
I sincerely hope that I prove wrong!!!
While I would like to cheer this development... As a CAP member for 3+ decades, I fear a huge amount of "spam" reports + malicious broadcasts from those who either stole the beacons or..., bought them and broadcast for "Fun"...I'd presume that a unit would have a unique ID and would be registered to a specific individual, which would cut down on the intentional false alarms. Stolen units might be a potential problem, but only once. If they got a second alarm from a unit after having gotten a fake one before, they'd just ignore it.
