Well, here's one possible way of looking at it: If you have no idea
what, if anything, is between 2 and 3 GHz (I admit I don't), you likely
wouldn't miss it at all. Just a thought.

Ever been a parent? Hopefully not...

My wife and I raised two fine sons, both married now with families and

Not a lot to hear in that band. Some amateur TV, IIRC, but mostly it's
digital stuff.. WiFi (wireless internet), digital spread spectrum cordless
phones, newer digital spread spectrum cell phones, etc. I've never heard an
analog voice signal in that range.
