And it was a pun by Ericsson engineers, as they used Erlang to program telephone switches where the capacity planing included Erlangs.

Not a single telco wants this. So it does not get built. Interestingly DECT NR+ is a 5G standard on dedicated spectrum and has been designed to be a mesh from the start.

Naturally there needs to be filtering and some sort of analog frontend. My main point was that mainstream rigs now do direct sampling, instead of zero-if or superhet with dsp IF. And WSPR sure is magic, people do thousands of km with it o

The popular IC-7300 transceiver from Icom does that. Receiver samples the whole band and does downconversion in the digital domain (DDC) and same for the transmitter (DUC). On the hobbyist side there is the TRX Wolf by UA3REO.

UV-K5 does cost 1/10 to 1/20 as much as the handhelds did 20years ago. CB's seem niche and to this day the handhelds don't seem to go much below 100usd in price. Just not enough volume I guess.

In Finland parental leave is not fully covered by the government. So you get to pay both the original worker and their temporary replacement.
