RapidcreekAutomakers Want AM Radios Out of Cars. Congress Is About to Require Them
What’s to stop auto makers from putting one crappy am radio with a tinny speaker built into the dash labeled “Emergency Radio”?

m-p{3}I can see a troll blasting all kind of crap for the lolz while stuff in traffic on the predefined channel if you can’t turn it off.
Then you severely underestimate the FCC and the amateur radio community. They might not find them immediately, but they will find them. People get tracked down for a lot less than fake emergency broadcasts.
Might be difficult if they only do it randomly.
