OK but how about the question I had? .... Are you saying that 3G will include the MIL-STD-188-141A 8FSK125 waveform as the method for linking? Or it won't?
When you use the term ALE, do you mean the related MIL-STD/FED-STD/STANAG protocols, or do you mean the linking part only, particularly using the 8FSK125 waveform? When I use the term ALE, I am using it as a sort of shorthand for the whole series of protocols, some of which may be adopted by radio amateurs. When I use the term 3G, it refers to the "newer" protocols. 73, Rick, KV9U Steve Hajducek wrote: > Hi Rick, > > That reference is to Government/Military HF e-mail topology which has > evolved to the STANAG 5066 standard pretty much across the board, > however not everyone is there yet due to costs and time to update > their network infrastructures.
