Nico, I agree 100%. What's needed more than anything is the ability to determine whether a frequency is in use, then we can hop around as much as we want as the MUF changes. As for the FCC - let's just be happy that they only legislate for the US possessions (colonies) :) Simon Brown, HB9DRV

Hi Julian, By channel coherence time do you mean time when the signal is readable? The channel choerence time is a property of a (fading) channel which gives an idea of the time interval over with the channel response is approximately *constant*. If you drive your car at 100 km/h and tune

Hi Jose. You have a point too nobody had made me to stop and think about. FEC or UWB in whatever way, carried to the extremes, are two sides of the same coin. It happens, never mind. Sometimes also telecommunication engineers have not a clear vision of what they are designing :-D On

I agree with Nino, theoretically it is correct to use as much bandwidth as possible, 3 kHz in the ROS case, but due to the small spreading, the ROS signal does not have a negligble level compared to others on the channel, so it is a halfbreed, it has spread spectrum characteristics, but does

Laws are laws, whether you like them or not. And, in this particular context, is it actually necessary to go on the air to carry out experiments of this type? As has been mentioned in several posts. there are ionospheric simulators that permit the testing of different modes. The amateur bands

But the situation where existing users of the bands suddenly have their activities disrupted when people start going mad with some flavour of the month new mode is unacceptable, and the controls the FCC exercise over amateurs in the USA do at least go some way to prevent this.   This is why

All the ARRL announcement really does is reference the FCC statement of Feb. 23. That statement said the FCC was not going to say if it considered ROS to be spread spectrum. Individual operators were the ones responsible for making a decision. The FCC has never said ROS is illegal nor have

The FCC is very slow to respond to anything related amateur radio. In other words we're a very minor player in the scheme of things. I for one will refrain from using ROS below 222Mhz until it is approved because my license is more valuable to me . Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
