QUESTION .... Would you decrease your opposition if Pactor III did not expand its bandwidth? ANSWER ..... ANY MODE THAT INTERFERES WITH OTHERS AND DISREGARDS THOSE ON THE FREQUENCIES has to be RESTRICTED from all bands below 219 MHz. QUESTION ... Could you accept wide band digital modes if they all operated in a fixed bandwidth, i.e. not expanding or contracting due to band conditions? ANSWER please DEFINE WIDE BAND ? 1)What got many of us fired up was a idea that 100 kHz wide digital would be useful on 6 and 2 meters. All that would do is raise the noise floor and destroy the bands for weak signal users. 2)Many of us oppose any digital mode wider than current FM on any band below 219 MHz since many of those using these modes feel they have the right to interfere with analog users AND HAVE SAID SO..... in the name of progress analog needs to go. The bands are not broke and don't need digital fixing ..... Now if you can come up with a plan that does not cause a problem I'm willing to listen.
