When are we going to bury this silly business of operating on an LSB 
suppressed-carrier  frequency outside the band?

1)   Most rigs on 30M have to be "hacked" for out-of-band operation to do this.

2)   Commercial/military/marine/aviation HF gear (some of which gets used on 
the ham bands) operates exclusively on USB.

3)   Most modern post-WARC ham rigs (that include 30M OEM) roll over from 
default LSB to default USB at 9.999.99 MHz.

I don't think we have to accommodate Heathkit "hot water" monobanders with only 
one sideband any longer.



10.147.600  USB    will produce exactly the same  1600/1800 Hz audio tone pair 
for KAM and TNC2 TNCs while keeping the carrier inside the ham band.

At the same time you can also receive the GMSK/PSK-based APRS on 10.149.700 
with the sound-card-based APRS Messenger.  (You set APRS Messenger to use an 
audio tone frequency of 2100 Hz.)
