Ladies and Gentlemen of the Elecraft Reflector: Please be careful what you wish for and/or petition for. How great of a "service" the Amateur Radio hobby would be if we all had type approved radios, requiring a yearly "checkout" at a licensed measurement office ($500 per radio, per band, per mode), channelized frequencies so we would all be within <50Hz of a designated center of channel, a single mode of "approved" operation, radios so simple no one would need to have any knowledge of how to operate the thing, etc., etc. Wow! Thats like living in an HOA dwelling! And, the greatest thing of all....since no one would need to know how to make his radio meet all spectral purity and emissions tests, WE WOULDN'T NEED ANY LICENSES! Frequencies waiting to be used by ANYONE! CB everywhere (gasp). Please! Be vewwy vewwy careful for what you wish. 73 Ted W8IXY K3 #1717 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
