- I saw mention of an up-and-coming mode called Pactor-II, which uses DSP
- technology to increase throughput. Can anyone tell me more about this
- mode? When will it be available? Should I hold off buying a multimode
- controller until this mode is available?

- Actually, Jeff, since you already know what the show topics are, you have
- the option of not listening to something you don't want to hear. And if you
- are being charged to listen you have a point, but I haven't paid a
- broadcaster yet for delivering an RF signal to the vicinity of my antenna
- and receiver, nor have I been asked to do so, with the notable and IMHO
- worthwhile exception of PBS and NPR.

- Don't give the IRS any more ideas about what constitutes a profit. If they
- start to think that there is some monetary value to education, they'll want
-
- 28% of your college tuition too!

- A quick peek into the FCC frequency allocation charts says that 154.46375
- is allocated primarily for electric utility one-way communications for
- load control. When in doubt, check with the guys in charge!

- It had better not be, based on the above. That frequency is allocated
- nationwide for utilities, using 350W output stations. Anything else is
- secondary, and not just on paper at those power levels!
