What is your opinion of Sprint-Nextel? - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

I wonder if anyone has the same feeling I do; I am 50 yrs old and have been through many platforms of RF - ranging from 2-Way FM, trunking, amateur experimentation, and RADIO technology in general. I am now seeing that most new technology is IP based with advanced modulations like QAM .......I am feeling like I cant keep up with the new technologies and see myself as a "has-been" It seems that RF is becomming "plug and play" - is our RF knowledge valuable anymore? .......comments....?
