Correction, Don't operate anything else than wide digital in the wide digital subbands. The wide modes don't usually have a problem. This way your narrow QSOs will be in their own subbabd and you will not be crying when a PACTOR PMBO steps all over you. Just like you never take a hike in the highway because the fast cars will run over you. >>>That's progress, Demetre. You acknowledge that the "remote initiator ensures the frequency is clear" scheme is unreliable, and that the result can be "a PACTOR PMBO steps all over you". >>>The operators of wide digital modes are no less disgusted when stepped on by an unattended station than are operators of narrower modes. And as I mentioned in my response to Jose, the sub-bands in which unattended operation is permitted vary between regions. Thus an operator using a frequency on which unattended operation is not permitted in her region could be stepped on by a PMBO operating in a region where that frequency lies in an unattended sub-band. >>>In the land of HF, the hiking paths and highways overlap. Thus, your "simple and logical solution" simply doesn't work. We need polite drivers. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
