The ARRL's not the authority when it comes to band plans. Your local
coordinating body is.

Your point? The national calling frequency could just as easily be
145.52 mhz. or 145.51 mhz. -- there's nothing magical about 146.52 --
its just a frequency, that happens to sit right in the middle of the
REPE
the experminal band too ...
What's so hard about that ?

NO the problem is we don't need More repeater pairs and we don't need

EchoLink? Sure. D-Star? Not repeaters. Repeaters can't operate there.

What logic says that when you have limited spectrum for repeat
meter users now why not go on 300 UNUSED KHZ ?

What logic says that when you have limited spectrum for repeaters that
you are allocating some to simplex, when there is spectrum where
repeaters are not allowed and is being under used?

NO the problem is we don't need More repeater pairs and we don't need
D-Star/echo-link on the 146.400 -146.600 or 147.400 - 147.600 pair already used
by analog stations.
D-Star and echo-link will fit nicely into 145.500 - 145.700 with no movement of
other stations.
Lets make use of THAT band
A few thoughts:
1. Print publishing is a dying proposition. No printed directory can
keep current with changing information.
2. Some repeater coordinators have been resistant or slow to accept D-
STAR and provide coordination, so many D-STAR repeaters are not
coordinated and don't make it i
