Well, they got burned with the 27 MHz Children's Band, good buddy, don'cha
know? They are loath to create that on the aviation band with idiots with
"hopped up raddios and linears" on the "good buddy frequency" and on the
pirate "freeband" aviation network.

I don't blame them. The USA citizenship has not played them well in any
"freeband" network they have created. Witness the garbage and obscenities
on channel 19 (et al) of CB. It is worse on the FRS channels. Why would
you expect it to be any better for a "freeband" channel in the aviation
band?

Good point, it would ruin the freq. if the same garbage "lingo" eeked
into the aviation band. I'm curious though, I wonder what kind of
range and clarity a handheld 760 radio would have talking to another
one at an airshow? I know if you get too far apart in a shopping mall
with an FRS it gets hard to communicate. Are aviation handhelds far
superior in ground to ground range and clarity?
