Had the ARRL's "regulation by bandwidth" proposal been accepted, the range of frequencies available to automatic stations without busy frequency detectors would have significantly increased, which was why so many amateurs opposed it, which was why the ARRL abandoned it.

EZPal on 14.233-14.237 MHz is OK as there are very few restrictions on image transmission. 73, John KD6OZH ----- Original Message ----- From: John To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 02:21 UTC Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Why would anyone So sorry John ..... of course you are right ..... we were supposed to have read and understood the contents of part 97 ..... I guess I must have forgotten the part that demanded we also memorize it verbatim with all it's technical terms and specs. I must be the one to admit it, I am the one that forgot some pieces of it .... could you remind me again about where that rule was located? .... HiHi In all seriousness, I was simply trying to illustrate a point that seemed to be misleading in the discussion. As I read the discussion, and indeed I could have missed some posts, but it appeared some were alluding that the maximum baud rate was 300 PERIOD, which as you have so expertly pointed out is quite untrue ..... Thank you for the clarification, however these limits still seem to fly in the face of such things as EZPal and a few others, especially when operating on customary HF frequencies around 20 meters (14.233 - 14.237 khz) .... Thanks again
