Jim, I think you're 4/1 suspicions may be well-founded. I'll leave it to K1ZZ and W3KD, who follow FCC actions closely. But I can't find any reference to this in a search of the FCC web site. And the Report and Order issued February 19, 2008, in the DTV Consumer Education Initiative, MB Docket No. 07-148, makes no reference to an Amateur Digital VHF and UHF Order.

Jim, is this a surprise, or did we know about this? What does it mean for our 2 meter and 440 equipment? How about repeater modifications? Thanks. 73, Bill-AA8EY Assistant Section Manager Central Ohio
