Bill, The FCC is very clear about ALE being completely legal to use on voice frequencies for signaling purposes. You would not even have any particular restriction on baud rate either. This whole eat crow nonsense is coming from one person. The fact is that the FCC's decisions have been

John, From everything we could find, Q15X25 never really worked very well and was abandoned as a replacement for AX.25 packet. Consider that instead of adding this mode to Multipsk, Patrick came up with the PAX modes, although they are not 8 bit ASCII. We know what we MUST do to improve

Thanks Patrick, So what about the different bandwidth? Assuming SSB is 2.4 kHz and PSK31 is 31 Hz, is there an extra advantage here of 800 (19 dB or whatever) as well? IMO Digital Modes are ideal for QRP and for those who want to get away from the screaming guys with 1,000m towers and 10kW

Somehow I doubt the non-extra-class CW ops will go for a 15 kHz segment (3525-3540) Since 25% of the non-phone band is extra-only, wouldn't it make sense to designate some of the extra-only sub-band as digital? Not all extra-class operators operate CW. expeditionradio wrote: Proposed New 80

Rick, To me it all depends on the channel behavior. On HF, with multipath, the parallel modem wins because the simbols can be made longer than the delay spread. Just observing the succesful implementations may lead anyone to see that in an ionospheric channel, generally, parallel tone modems

Hello Simon, So what about the different bandwidth? Assuming SSB is 2.4 kHz and PSK31 is 31 Hz, is there an extra advantage here of 800 (19 dB or whatever) as well? The bandwidth is already taken into account. The standard bandwidth for determining S/N is 3 KHz. The small bandwidth of PSK31 is

Hello Rick, As far as I know, there are very few specifications about Q15X25, only generalities. However, for HF, the minimum S/N is certainly too high (surely around -1 to +1 dB). 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: KV9U To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,

It seems to me that CW will be more toward the bottom of the band and Data/RTTY will be more toward the top of the band. Sometimes CW will be over the entire band and it is possible for Data, particularly RTTY during a contest, to be over much of the band too. I certainly do not expect the FCC

Well, my vote would be to restrict semi-automatic and automatic stations to the top 20 KHz or less in the below proposal. And just have the rest be all modes less than 500 hertz. Or wait until the NPRM comes out for the management by bandwidth where the wider data modes would be permitted in the

HI Bonnie and the others commenting.. I certainly do not hate any mode but I believe that there are some incompatible uses of the bands that need to be separated given the number of inconsiderate operators that seem to be out there. I do not like getting stomped on by an operator using a mode
