Yes, and the original Limited Rover category proposal by K5QE was
tailored with just this in mind. 3 Bands, with power limits close to
the capabilities of the 706/FT100. Then 4 bands and additional power
got added. And something quite different than what was anticipated
resulted. In addition to the team roving issue, the new category
primarily resulted in existign rovers movign to the limited class,
rather than new blood roving. - Duffey
