(This is actually a copy and paste of the past posting isn't it old bean!)

We wouldn't need any facilities other than were present in,
say, the KW2000 of 35 years ago (apart from greater than
200 kHz coverage on each band!)

None of the CBer's facilities such as scanners, memories,
CAT interfaces, CTCSS and the like are necessary.

I suggest that we consider a DSP approach for all the
baseband mod and demod, and then phasing techniques
for translating into the various bands.

Whilst some so called *Radio Hams* Waffle, suggest and propose the
*Radio Amateurs* just get on and do it! See-

Apart from wanting DSP, I can offer you the ideal radios all ready built
for the job - either the KW2000, the FT101 or the FT102! Why re-invent
the wheel?

Absolutely and many other models available 2nd hand.

(I note you use the term 'rig' rather than 'radio' which is the more
_Gentlemanly_ way of traditionally talking about your equipment - surely
the word 'rig' is a term used by a CB'er that you detest so much?)

Liking Airy to CB'ers is an insult to CB'ers!
