A good education never hurts, but a fancy degree is not a guarantee for infinite wisdom.
I still did not see any proof or practical test other then what the radio manufacturers already did before they hit the market. Not having any problems is enough proof that I bought a quality radio, which is by all means better than the 72 Mhz system it replaced.
So where are the real problems? If someone is in the market for a new radio, go get a 2.4 system. They are great. Nothing better out there.

And who is Tom Gates?
