Myself, I find the whole topic as kind of silly. And to drag the

poor CBer's into it, even more silly.





The topic is a very serious one, the decline of amateur radio to

become indistinghuishable from CB radio, save for a few extra

bands, etc, and the arrival on the scene of auto tuners in danger

of being one of the last nails in the coffin.

Says who? You? Auto tuners have been around for years and years,
and have nothing to do with the state of Amateur Radio.
Amateur Radio is declining because is a lack of overall interest,
and the use of the internet for instant global communications.
Among other things.. But trust me, ATU's have nothing to do with it.
