I don't mean to imply the switch was a bad idea. In fact, the list you give
does present a lot of interesting options for the utility of the switch. I
just wanted to point out the one thing that stopped working after the switch
which I used a lot. I lived in Atlanta until early this year. Anytime a storm
was moving through, several local I-gates were broadcasting the WXSVR packets
and the coding allowed the FIPS codes to be visible in the extended view of the
packet (before the switch of course). I have a workaround which is to spin
the VFO over to NOAA radio when I see an alert and then just listen to the
automated broadcast so it's not impossible.
