Most of the ACSSB junk has been ripped out. I have been to MANY radio sites
in Oregon and Washington where the equipment still sits un-plugged.
Although, Day Wireless in Portland still runs a 220 MHz LTR (Johnson type)
trunking system in the Portland metro area. Not sure how much use it gets.

Subject: [Amps] 220 MHz segment
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.

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!
