No, I don't know. I know you keep saying it. I know you never provide any examples. I know there is a reason for that. *You don't have any*. Good luck to the FCC in doing bandwidth segmentation. They will forever stifle the ability of amateur radio to use adaptive bandwidth techniques to maximize spectrum efficiency metrics. I'm not talking about for when propagation changes, I'm talking about when usage densities go up and down. One useful concept in smart radios is to use narrower bandwidths when band usage is high, giving up speed and fidelity for a higher "users satisfied" metric, and to use wider bandwidths when band usage is low, gaining speed and fidelity when the "users satisfied" metric is not applicable. Kiss that concept goodby with the ARRL proposal using bandwidth regulation. If the FCC wanted to *REALLY* put a push behind digital techniques they would do like Region 1 has. Define digital voice as *digital* and let those that want to talk voice and send some data on the same channel do so ---- but do it in the digital part of the band. The plans Region 1 have laid out have a lot going for them. Separate analog and data. Keep automatic robots corralled. And so on. Their problem is not having people follow the *voluntary* bandplans. The FCC could fix the problems Region 1 is having by laying out segments for data and analog based on regulatory limits. tim ab0wr Need a Digital mode QSO?
