Some radios do not have the capability of operating on the opposite sideband from the "normal" LSB on 80/40 and USB on 20/15/10.
The only voice radio I have ever owned before the K3 was a Swan 350C. That radio is still here and I used it regularly up until the K3 arrived two months ago. It annoyed me to no end when I would hear someone on the opposite side band. Okay I got over it. I am sure this is not the only transceiver that would be obviated with a change to USB everywhere. I would bet that for years and years "contra-band" nets would arise just to operate on THE PROPER SIDEBAND. Maybe they would fly the Confederate Flag as their symbol. Remember the Alamo!

I am sure it will annoy someone tho'. I remember when I was accused of trying to ruin packet radio by running that nasty TCP/ IP stuff over the air too. :-) -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN Brian Lloyd - brian HYPHEN wb6rqn AT lloyd DOT com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
