I think that economics, branding,peer approval, and technology advances will ensure that there is little extra stupidity on air

For the thick end of £200, a far more fashionable mobile phone can be had......

If Apple decide to make an iCB we could have a problem.... but they won't.....

Breaker breaker 1-9 is super un-cool, so not much of a draw there either......

The new radios have at least twice the number of channels and 3 times the number of operating modes, so there is much more ground to cover if being a pain in the ass is the objective. It just won't happen. Look at PMR446, just 8 channels and I have never experienced all 8 of them being in use at the same time...

Good points, although 446 has such limited range you're unlikely to see all the channels used unless you live in a city. I sometimes scan the 446 channels with my UVR5, round here you rarely get anything at all.

I'm up for a comms test if anyone buys one of these new rigs.
