Rick, Don't forget that there are frequencies in the 14.100 region that are the only ones allowed under current regs for semi-automatic operation. A new regulation strategy might change that but it is the law for now. I didn't see that factored into your analysis. 73, Leigh/WA5ZNU On Tue, 20 Jun 2006 6:08 am, KV9U wrote: > Dave and group members, > > If the proposed bandwidth proposals ever go through, the wider modes > would be required to operate higher in the bands.
