70 Cm band MUST READ!!

[Thirsty]

But... not intelligent enough to know that the ARRL is not a government agency (even though it sometimes acts like one).

Err.... So I am getting ready to drop $400 on a duel band Kenwood TM-V71A as my first radio. So should I not, and just a get 2 meter? Grrr.

Buy the radio and enjoy the 70 cm band. Don't drink the original posters kool-aid.

I have a question for the original poster: When did the ARRL become a Government Agency?

I just dropped twice that, basically to do D-Star on 440, and yes, I'd read the post first... :blink:

Obviously I didn't find it compelling.

Look up the paper on medical devices operating in the Radar band.
You will see that the system is so complex in signal addressing and short ranged that a Ham signal and Radar will not interfere and the device will not interfere with any other user.
Look at the frequecy chart.
These peticuar units, by design, do not use 432 to 438 part of the 70cm band where SSB and other modes are in common use.
Get the facts before trying to spread alarm on the subject.

I'm about to start studying for the extra endorsement. I hope this shite doesn't mean I'll have something new added to the exam I gotta learn.
