Hams rarely set specification or set goals. What happens...happens.

Subject: RE: [digitalradio] Digest Number 1722
I've been following the list now for some months. I'm an OOT first licensed
in 1960. And I am really interested in digital communication as I've earned
my living up to now (retiring) as an EE working with networks.
My question is: Does anyone ever ask: "Do we need another digital Mode?"
It seems a new one is on the list about every 14 days. It takes me about 30
minutes to figure out which mode I should be decoding!!
I am seeing mode proliferation that looks like it's being done to say "Look
a new mode and it does something better than another mode, ...but not
everything, some things it does worse...
It's like the feature proliferation in mobile phones, Geez I just want to
telephone with the thing and none of them can do as good a job as a real
camera or a real MP3 player. But they are more expensive and if you use the
features to send pictures etc. the provider is making a LOT of money.
