I live a few miles out in the country and until yesterday I did not appreciate the issue of front end overload. I was checking the weather (its cold in Texas) on 162.4mhz and it seemed distorted. I looked around on the spectrum and found a net running on a 146.64 repeater about 2 miles from my house. I had to turn the gain down all the way to listen to the wx station. So now I can appreciate the problems people might experience in a denser city environment.


Nevertheless, having that 2mbit window is still very nice.
