Well. I do understand how Cell phones can... Leave you stranded. But when all else fails. HAM RADIO. In fact where I am right now the cell phone is iffy at best, The TS-2000 100% reliable if I had to call for help it would work.

But that said... I would need to know more about what the enhancements are to comment. Tech's as I recall have full novice privledge, this includes access to nearly all HF bands, but CW only. Let me check something. Yup, 80/40/15/10 meter CW is allowed Technician. Now voice would be nice (limited voice on 10) but we need to encourage upgarding.. I mean... I got by for over 30 years with just 2M/70cM FM, but then I decided to UPGRADE.. So.. though I still use WA8YXM.. that's an E-Ticket now days.
