Well put, Jeff. IMO 10 kHz is about the limit for any kind of voice emission, & it has to be digital in order to be anything less than 12.5 kHz. We have a small D-Star sub-band on 2 meters here in SoCal that's spaced @ 10 kHz & it seems to be working. I applaud the FRC's initiative in wanting to do something to increase spectrum efficiency, but 7.5 kHz is simply going too far. Heck, some parts of the country can't even make 15 kHz work, & have gone to 20 kHz spacing throughout the entire 2 meter band. Bob NO6B
