I feel that it is the responsibility of the software defined radio groups to go forward and provide for these capabilities since it really is "the only way". I will not defend this in detail here but I believe it strongly for all sorts of theoretical and practical reasons. 73 Bob N4HY -- AMSAT VP Engineering.

You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." - Einstein Need a Digital mode QSO?
