Good detective work. You should be a proof-reader. Or a lawyer. Seems like
they'd just come out and say it. Regardless, I know a couple Techs who are
going to be excited about moving up to General now.

Of course it's the end of the Good Ol' Days but so what. I've got bigger
things to worry about. :-)

That's the last sentence in the press release.  The first sentence says, 
"Today's Order also revises the operating privileges for Technician
Class licensees by eliminating a disparity ..."  at least suggesting 
that the intent of the commission was to change only Tech privileges and 
not retract any privileges from the Tech+.  This of course is just an 
announcement of the order, not the order itself.  The order will 
specifically modify each section and subsection of 47CFR97 (maybe it 
already has, I haven't looked, having been busy with my K2 in the OK 
RTTY), at which point, all should be very clear ;-)

PS To all who helped me discover a fourth set of filters on my K2, 
thanks.  They are now set up, and all appears to be working just fine.
