Hi Dave, While I can't speak for the whole "digital community", I can probably speak with some authority for the "ALE community"... ALE operators have been sharing the ham bands for many many years without harmful interference. This is primarily due to the way that ALE has been adapted to amateur radio by hams, a protocol adaption known as "ham-friendly ALE". 99% of ALE operation is in organised emcomm networks and 99% of the organised networks are operating in the internationally recogised HF automatic sub-bands, where automatic modes have been in use for many years. 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA
