I think all marine band transceivers now use a tracking system I can't remember whats its called now so when you key up people know your location.

As for DMR id there are too many radios out there beyond any control n to ban their sale would be nigh on impossible.. lets face it the Genie is well n truly out of the bottle

Re: DMR Pirates
It makes sense to imagine they use some kinda system now days so that they could pin point any vessels in distress or have loss navigation or to I.D the vessel upon transmit etc.
