It's simple.
The ARRL has sold out to Win Link 2000.
The only way to propagate the use of the "wide" digital modes like
PactorIII/Win Link is to make room for them. The entire proposal has
more to do with how the bands are apportioned for the "wide" modes like
SSB, SSTV, digital voice, etc....Under the proposal you would be able to
run PactorIII, with it's 3KHz wide signal, anywhere "wide" bandwidth
signals are allowed.
The 200Hz limit on the "narrow" sections of the bands was some arbitrary
number they came up with. It's obvious the ARRL's policy hand has
absolutely no idea what it's technical hand is doing or saying on
equipment reviews.
