Your point? The national calling frequency could just as easily be
145.52 mhz. or 145.51 mhz. -- there's nothing magical about 146.52 --
its just a frequency, that happens to sit right in the middle of the

The ARRL's not the authority when it comes to band plans. Your local
coordinating body is.
Now lets get the repeater groups to clean up what is already being used
for

Coordinators are NOT allowed to make this decision,
A few thoughts:
1. Print publishing is a dying proposition. No printed directory can
keep current with changing information.
2. Some repeater coordinators have been resistant or slow to accept D-
STAR and provide coordination, so many D-STAR repeaters are not
coordinated and don't make it
NO the problem is we don't need More repeater pairs and we don't need
D-Star/echo-link on the 146.400 -146.600 or 147.400 - 147.600 pair already used
by analog stations.
D-Star and echo-link will fit nicely into 145.500 - 145.700 with no movement of
other stations.
Lets make use of THAT
What logic says that when you have limited spectrum for repeaters that
you are allocating some to simplex, when there is spectrum where
repeaters are not allowed and is being under used?

Bruce,
What 300 khz? 145.5-145.7 Mhz., per your earlier email, is 200 khz.
They are in the simplex part of the band. If you are talking about
Echolink simplex nodes or DVAR Hot Spot or DVAP simplex operation, you
can make an argument that they can live in that spectrum. However, we
are

EchoLink? Sure. D-Star? Not repeaters. Repeaters can't operate there.
Lets make use of THAT band before you want thousands of stations
Might want to check the FCC rules before you put repeaters into 145.5 -145.7.
It's not legal.
(b) A repeater may receive and retransmit only on the 10 m and shorter
wavelength
frequency bands except the 28.0-29.5 MHz, 50.0-51.0 MHz, 144.0-144.5 MHz,
145.5-146.0
MHz, 222.00-222.15 MHz,
146.52 is what on the ARRL band plan back almost 40 years ?
Now lets get the repeater groups to clean up what is already being used for
repeaters move D-star to a EXPERIMENTAL band and if Echo-like is really
repeaters make they coordinate like all other repeaters .. there wise they
go to
