What is the point of digital voice when there are already AM, SSB
and FM for those who want to appear indistinguishable from CBers?

Perhaps it is cynicism from the manufacturers who introduce such things
as they see their traditional highly-priced corner of the market
being wiped away by SDR technologies?

A very well informed and authoratative response to this has been made
by "Channel Jumper" over in rec.radio.amateur.equipment, although
he did not elect to post it here as well.
