After giving this some thought I wonder what HF rig would you use with 20 kHz bandwidth and what mode? What design criteria would be needed to use this, especially in J3D?

If I'm at the high end of the band, I'd like to send text, voice, data or images in a 20 kHz bandwidth on wider bands or 8 kHz on narrower bands. Right now data and text are limited to the lower portions of each band where wideband emissions would be a problem. If I'm on a VHF band I'd like to see a 200 kHz bandwidth limit for portions of each band rather than the 20 kHz limit. On 70 cm I'd like to eliminate the 100 kHz bandwidth restriction on data and make it at least 6 MHz. > > I have operated HF digital modes on 40, 20 and 10 meters in the past, but my experments with wideband digital modes have been restricted to 6 meters and 70 cm. > > 73, > > John > KD6OZH > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 14:51 UTC > Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Digi Voice: No Bandwidth Limit > > > There has been some criticism of the U.S.'s supposedly backward ways > with amateur radio bandwidths, and other countries (practically everyone > else?) being so advanced in this area. > > If it is true that others are not being held back, what actual new > wideband HF modes have been developed that we can not use in the U.S.? > > How many are actually using these new modes?
