Why don't we discuss the fact that in virtually every area in the country, there are at least three repeaters in the linear translator part of the band? This makes it impossible to coordinate and implement a linear translator, which functions like a repeater but repeats *any* mode within the bandpass -- and does so using the minimum amount of power. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Analyst
