Actually, Doc, those are expressly legal under 97.221. The FCC's
rationale (the URL for which I posted earlier) clearly acknowledges
the potential for interference. They challenged us to find ways to
mitigate this interference, but did not make interference mitigation
a prerequisite to operation under 97.221.
The demonstratrable failure to mitigate interference from operation
on 97.221 makes a very strong case against the elimination of
constraints on semi-automatic operation. The primary constraint I
would impose is "listen before you transmit"; in the absence of
that, "stay within these sub-bands".
