Is it ok to use the radio as a fax machine. I e sending tags that can be putted in notes and that way get pictures sent over radio.

Can you do such a thing?
I don't think it'd be ok. The message is what you HEAR from the radio, so a picture would be... strange...

On the other hand, fax machines themselves are really just telephones that send and print data...this can be considered a similar adaptation to the Cantr radio. If, on the other hand, it is to only be used for voice comms, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to make the radio input remove all tags from the string entered to prevent this.
