This only started with plastic radios and digital displays and got worse with dial resolution down to one cycle. Back when everyone had VFOs like the HA-5 with dial markers only every 50 kc no one ever thought about it. All that mattered was being inside the band and zero beat to the fellow being worked. Now for some reason hams act like the bands are channelized every 5 kc. Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
