Since hams are the secondary users of these frequencies I don't see any alternative. But really how often do you think these things are going to used? We've gotten used to not having 70 cm here in Northern California because of Pave-Paws don't really miss it.

After all, the coppers in the Bay Area (SF/Oakland) and New York have deep pockets and each will probably buy a few of these at several grand a piece - only to find out they cause interference to the Military. Sure, only 1W. Uh-huh. Can you say OOOPS?!?!?! I knew you could. I'll bet nobody has thought of that issue yet.

The first time the device fails to deliver the goods to the Public Safety guys, they'll stop using it. Good luck to them. They'll have fun running up against the 1,000watt erp of many 70cm repeaters. 73, Dave Wa3gin _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of George Henry Re: the waiver request by ReconRobotics for 420 - 450 MHz operation.
