Bob, I was involved with the 800 mhz fiasco with the public safety bands and the "Phone company!!??" Because of the deluge of complaints and the monies involved by repairing this, you would think they would learn from a huge mistake.... Somehow, we forget the adage "we must learn from our mistakes or repeat history" and politician$ only $ee what they want! Thanks for pointing out another history lesson... 73, Dee, NB2F

No one disturbs anyone else. Everyone is happy. A LightSquared rock band comes into the room and begins to play at max volume, and then insists there should be no problem because the headphones work just fine in providing the isolation between what each person is listening to. Therefore the interference to everyone in the room is not their fault, but the fault of the Headphone Manufacturers!
