Correct, Don.  But if you read my earlier posting, the ARRL is *also* sneakily proposing a change to expand the bandwidth in their proposed change to 97.307 (f) (3).

I don't know who drafted in that change, and even the Board of Directors may not be aware of that sleight of hand.  All the propaganda from HQ is about changing symbol rates, but they had to sneak that bandwidth item in.  Nothing to do with symbol rates, but very detrimental to digital subbands.

If you write to your director, be sure to mention that they need to carefully read the petition, especially the 2.8 kHz part, to be sure that they know what they had signed up to.
