You are right in your statement that most countries have that regulation.
You must use AX25 as a transportlayer.
Like you, I don't like this regulation. But we are stuck with it so far.
Maybe in a future....
You can still use whatever protocol you like with KISS, but this
doesn't automatically make it legal.
It may be legal some day, but until then we are stuck with AX25.
It is similar to:
Your car can do 200 km/h (approx 125 miles/h), but the speedlimit is
only 90 km/h (approx 56 miles/h).
One day, maybe, the speedlimit will be higher, but until then you are
stuck with 90 km/h.
Is this car less good than a car designed to go only 90 km/h ?
No, they are just the same at 90 km/h, but one owner is prepared for a
possible future, without the need to buy a new car.
