IL Is doing 440-442 now as well. The problem IL has, and IN I imagine, is that Michigan will not recoginize any new coordinations in the 440-442 band, and instaead of providing useful data to IL when a request is submitted for new coord., like MI had a link on that freq, they just say NO (or don't even respond from what I have heard) with no reason explained other than they will not recoginize a repeater coordinated there because it does not fit the bandplan. I fell victom to that with my first pair. We are close enough in northern IL that it is important to know what is coordinated in Mighigan. From what I hear MI dosen't play well with others so IL and some other states are ignoring them now and just dealing with the problems after the fact. In my opinion thats BS, but such is life. Not to mention the extra $100 I had to spend to re-crystal because michigan could't just say "no, we have a link there" instead of the blanket No. I think theres a commercial on TV
with David Spade working at the MI repeater council right now ;)
Sorry for the rant, off my soapbox now.
