FM

I dont think anything will change regarding enforcement, those rules have been on the books for many years and we have all seen how it works.
If they really wanted to find you it's not going to matter what mode you are using.
It has been my experience that CB and ham radio are just not that high up on the list of enforcement actions.
I have been on both sides of this fence, 30 years ago I and others worked with Sheriffs, local Police, FCC field agents and in the end, Federal Marshals to get a really bad guy behind bars.
He was a psycho and it stopped when things got so far out of hand that people were getting shot at.
In the end Federal Marshall's arrested the guy on weapons charges, but the whole shit storm started on CB radio.
It's like several Hams that have been screwing up the bands for years and it takes years more just to get them to pull a license.
Its not like American Broadcasting Company that they can simply drop a $150,000 fine on and easily collect.
That's my take on it after playing radio for a lot of years.

And are required by law to have a switchable 10dB attenuator to reduce output to 0.4 watts for use when that is all that is required to maintain contact.
No, they aren't.
Main regulation in EU is CEPT. 4W AM/FM, 12W SSB 26.960-27.410 MHz
In some countries AM is limited to 1W and 12 channels only, but FM allowed on 80 channels.
In some countries AM is completely banned due to interference it produce on 1st and second harmonic.

I was thinking of the older UK regulations. 40 FM channels on a separate band between 27.60125 MHz and 27.99125 MHz. That did indeed require a power attenuator function.
 
Channel 1 sounds like a great plan. I'll spin to it on the weekend on my Kenwood.
The EU radios will become FCC type accepted in the near future. Cobra and President is only pushing this to keep production standards.
Follow the $$ logic.
And the FCC could careless about R/C or anything else around 27mhz.
