It doesnt make you a more capable operator, it just make you capable
of doing another mode. Big Deal!

Which makes one a more capable operator. Gotcha !

Got what? Being capable of doing another mode doesn't make you a more
capable operator than a tech! By your definition, if a tech operated a
CB, All the UHF/VHF rigs, A GMRS Rig, FRS Rig, A Business Band Rig,
that would make him a more capable operator? If you say no, then your
full of it, because I know you dont have all of that from post dated
back over several months ago.

Sure it does. The more modes you can do, the more capable you are.
Don't have all of what? UHF/VHF GMRS FRS are all operating on FM and
channalized. Business band rig is the same. ALL THE SAME MODE AND METHOD
of operation. And I used to be a 2 way technician. I've done it all.
Not to mention working on, repairing, and installing of anything from mobile
to full flegged repeater systems, including linking, etc in the
commercial/government invironment.

CB is familiar to me also. But only from a tech point of view. I have
never operated on CB other than to radio check a radio I had fixed.

Have a good day.
