    Turn it on in peacetime anywhere near to anything interesting and you’ll get a visit from your local military police.

      Probably one of the spectrum regulators will show up (the FCC in the US) not MPs.

          Most of the world has spectrum regulators for that sort of thing, it isn’t only a US thing. MPs aren’t really the people who would be investigating unless you live in some authoritarian regime where the police and federal regulatory bodies are commingled.

          I could be wrong but I can’t think of an example where a military regulates spectrum in any meaningful way and a quick web search turns up nothing.

            Ah yeah you must be right then because a quick web search (in English I assume) didn’t turn up anything about other countries’ counter-terrorist organisations or the fact that radar is used for missile locks for anti-aircraft missiles. Good comment.

            The US is not the whole world.
