Interesting thing about part 97. It is written differently than any other part of the rules. In most of the rules they tell you what you can do and if it isn't specifically spelled out then you can't do it. In part 97 it is the other way around. For the most part they tell you what you can't

Eric, I am not aware of any means to clean the memory. If you send the radio to Motorola's repair depot, it will come back with a brand-new chassis- a new radio in an old case- with the latest firmware installed. Of course, you must have the most recent version of CPS to program it. It is

Agreed Rob. ACSSB is nothing more than regular old SSB with a few things added. The compandering is simply speech compression on the transmit end and an equivalent expansion on the receive end to restore the dynamic range of the voice. This gives some noise reduction in the circuit. As

To some extent, ACSSB was simply the worst of all worlds, like NBFM with more ignition noise and companding artifacts, or SSB but restricted to channels. It made sense on paper as an analog bandwidth conservation tool compared to NBFM, but sounded really bad in areas of marginal

Nothing in the rules will state ACSSB is not allowed or ACSSB is allowed. The rules give the technical parameters for signals on a band. Any more that meets those technical parameters - and is publicly documented - is permitted. ACSSB would seem to meet those requirements. 73 Dan

duh-because when repeaters were first authorized for 2M, they were only allowed from 146 to 148. 144.5-145.5 didn't come into existence until the 80's. Close, but not exactly. When repeaters first came to be used on the ham bands in the late '50s/early '60s the 2m band from 144 to 148 Mc was

another interesting thing would be to see 2 meter repeaters go to 2 or 3 mhz splits and employ some form of efficient modulation mode instead of the same old 10 khz fm. Actually, it's happening now. There's a very dedicated (and, apparently, very wealthy) group of hams using the Public Safety

I believe the OP is essentially correct. The 2M sub-band didn't come until much later - I was thinking it was the late 70s, but it could have been the early 80s. Your point was why the 146 MHz pairs were more popular - because the techs could not use the 147 MHz pairs. The 146 MHz segment was

Oh, my point was that the techs had access to the entire 2M band before there were repeaters in the sub-band (144.5 - 145.5 MHz), so the sub-band had no impact on the techs, or vice versa. I remember when the sub-band was the black sheep of the 2M band. Joe M. MCH wrote: I believe the OP is
