I think this is a false alarm. As it is now, the PIII stations could legally
operate down in the PSK and RTTY segments, and PII MBO's already do.
This would add restrictions to that. It also moves that most obnoxious of
digital modes, MT63, out of the narrow band area.
I read this as an attempt to protect RTTY and PSK, not as a threat.

I think maybe Skip is concerned about non-pactor III automated stations?
Most of the automated pactor stations now operating are NOT pactor III, and
as I understand it, these could move DOWN into the RTTY areas, joining the
"500 Hz neighborhood".
