[Elecraft] USB on all bands ??

[Mike Scott]

Some radios do not have the capability of operating on the opposite sideband
from the "normal" LSB on 80/40 and USB on 20/15/10. 

The only voice radio I have ever owned before the K3 was a Swan 350C. That
radio is still here and I used it regularly up until the K3 arrived two
months ago. It annoyed me to no end when I would hear someone on the
opposite side band. Okay I got over it.

I am sure this is not the only transceiver that would be obviated with a
change to USB everywhere. I would bet that for years and years "contra-band"
nets would arise just to operate on THE PROPER SIDEBAND. Maybe they would
fly the Confederate Flag as their symbol. Remember the Alamo!

You know, there is nothing, legally or technically, preventing anyone  
from running USB on the bands below 10MHz if that is what they really  
want to do. I am sure it will annoy someone tho'. I remember when I  
was accused of trying to ruin packet radio by running that nasty TCP/ 
IP stuff over the air too. :-)
