So what do we call them?
What convention should we use on the air to refer to the 5 new
channels in the 5MHz band? I recommend we call them Channel E1, E2, E3, E4, and E5. Simple and easy to remember. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

If Kenwood's methods are the same as the other guys, we could just say "five one" "five two" etc. |

What's wrong with calling them by their frequencies? Certainly nothing wrong with that at all. But since most of us will probably just poke them into 5 convenient memory slots, some sort of easy memory aid might be helpful. Whatever. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

Ham brains only respond to freqs, they do not do well with channel tags. Like on 2M. "The .360 machine". "the .195 machine", etc. w3rv That's because our rigs display frequencies. CBers talk about channel numbers, TV watchers talk about channels and so on. But broadcast AM radio talks about frequencies, as listeners' radios are marked with frequencies (often incorrectly as 54 to 160 KHz). The FCC talks about FM radio channel numbers, but the public only knows about frequencies, as that is how most all radios are marked. |
Ohhhh ... I don't need to visit *that* URL. LOL. Kept it as a favorite so
I can copy and paste (as you must have done). Perhaps you should have suggested for channel numbers 4Q2, 4Q2OM, UR1LID, UR1ASS, and ZBM-2 LOL I just love these newsgroups :) Have a gooder & 73, Jim AA2QA "K0HB" wrote in message om... wrote How about just saying the god damn frequency?
