What would you pay for it?

I have no doubt you are correct, but I'll still say that 900 Mhz amateur
activity in the US is not very strong (compared to other V/U bands).

Not necessarily true, John.
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

I used to be like that, but now that I've gone commercial, I don't find
that's an issue. I would rather have the improved performance. Plus, you
can program in simplex channels, etc. If you can fill up 128 memory
channels on 900 MHz in your area, that's great. Around here, we have 4
repeaters w
True, but where is the hack for the front panel programmable Spectra?
It's nice to not be limited to preprogrammed channels.

Yeah, same as 220.
There's not really a need for an amateur rig anyway. There are so many
commercial rigs that go there easily, and you would never be able to buy an
amateur rig with the performance of a Spectra!

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.
