After getting the 220 MHz to 222 MHz segment realigned for commercial two-way 
radio, but using "narrow band" techniques, UPS then tried to get "normal" FM 
approved because of the higher price of ACSB equipment.  To the FCC's credit, 
they denied that application.  Therefore, UPS abandoned their plans for a 
country-wide 220 MHz radio system.


There are commercial two-way operations in the 220 MHz to 222 MHz segment 
using, primarily, ACSB.  At least, for the 222 MHz to 225 MHz segment, the 
Amateur Radio Service is now "primary" whereas, before, the Amateur Radio 
Service was a "secondary" user in the entire 220 MHz to 225 MHz segment.

Speaking of this, does anyone know what happened to that little piece of
the 1.25 M band we lost a while ago 9220-222 MHz)?  I heard that it had
been given to UPS, who subsequently just let it lie fallow -- didn't bother
to use it at all.  And is still that way.  Can anyone confirm the truth or
otherwise, to this statement?

Thanks a bunch!
