I asked a serious question and also told a reason for changing ... If car manufacturer has made a new model ... and just before release it on the next car show one of his engineers comes to him and says ... hey boss ... we have now a better motor with double the power and lower gasoline needs ... what would the boss say?!? Scope creep??? Or would he say : man ... how fast can you add that motor to our production line /new model ??? .... If the designers would have asked ... I would have said earlier that more bands in the upper range is better (more bandwidth, higher bad rate, smaller antennas ... grin) ... so ... WHAT DO OTHER GROUP MEMBERS THINK??? Would you like a 3 band radio (70cm, 23cm 13cm) ??? If you wanna build a "ham-net" hot-spot ... you could use the same radio(s) for the user end on 70 cm and for the back-end to other stations on 13 or 23cm .... Yes I know it would mean a rebuild of the tuner and rf part of that data radio ... but I think it is worth thinking (and maybe discussing) about that ... right?!? Dg9bfc sigi

I think if I were the car manufacturer I would say "lets design
another car around that new motor, and get this model out the door
on schedule. People have signed up for this model and are waiting
for it! Some will wait to buy the new model, others will like this
model and then want a second car."

The new motor may require a new transmission, a different drive train, a smaller gas tank, different exhaust system, blah blah etc etc. And a retooling of the assembly line to handle the installation of the new motor. So we would never have any new products, because the model keeps being delayed to make it "better". I'm not knocking your idea Siegfried, just looking at it from my capitalist point of view. I'll buy a bigger and better one if I decide to later! ;-) Jerry N0JY
