It was my understanding that 220 was "on the block" to the commercial
sector. I wouldn't put one dime in rigs that may be useless in a year or
even 5. It would be similar to a great deal on a 5 meter rig!
My 2 cents....

In a recent ARRL 6/27/08 web survey the question was ask, do you operate
the 220 mhz band?
Of 2991 responses the results were as follows:
Frequently 5.9%
Occasionally 10.7%
Rarely 12.3%
Never 71.1%
The numbers speak.

A simple, relatively inexpensive self contained SSB/CW transceiver
running maybe 10 watts if the price were in line with the single band
