Going from 100 KHz to 25 KHz quadrupled the number of channels. Forty

channels are in the thousands.


So why are we still stuck with almost every uncontrolled field in existence
having their CTAFs crammed into just 2 or 3 freqs? How many years is it
since you could even buy a radio that didn't have 25 khz spacing?
