I would simply make it a 4 band category that
*includes* 222. We simply do not want to exclude 222
which would only strengthen the perception that it is
not a worthwhile band to have, not true. This January
it outperformed 432 for grids and was nearly the same
for Q's here. The competitive advantage for those
LSO's with 222 will not be totally overpowering for
those who don't.

I would also align the LSO power limits with the
barefoot power of the IC-706/FT-100/etc type radios.
