What really needs to happen is for someone to design a transistor or FET RF power doubler for all those 450 Mhz radios that will be coming or now surplus on the commercial market. Then amateur 900 MHz would boom. Don't ask me to do it, I don't have any time. WA9ZZU

There are pockets of HIGH activity on 900 MHz - especially on the coasts, where PAVE PAWS has forced the reduction or elimination of 70cm repeaters. Unfortunately, I'm not on either coast (I'm in the Chicago area) so your observation is accurate -- for me anyway. :-( Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com On Behalf Of JOHN MACKEY Because 900 Mhz is only available to amateurs in the US and not in Japan. The 900 Mhz amateur activity in the US is not very strong. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:02:17 PM PST From: "Fuggitaboutit" <mikewm9v> SNIP > Why cant someone just come up with a 900 meg fm mobile for amateur use? They would sell a zillion of them.
