I had been successfully ignoring ROS for a few months having been banned right from the start but I admit that ignoring it has largely been achieved by staying off the digital sub bands altogether because it made me so angry every time I listened for Olivia and heard this rogue mode on the air.
The only way different digital modes have been able to coexist without regulation has been because in the past both the developers and the users of new modes have been sensitive to and respectful of the rights and wishes of users of old ones. This simply doesn't work if someone decides not to play by the rules, and it isn't helped by what I suppose are mostly the current generation of new hams who, with the arrogance of youth consider those who voice objections to be no more than a bunch of old farts who can be ignored and vilified. The existence of ROS has spoiled digital operation for me and the only digital modes you will find me on now are PSK and APRS, both of which have mercifully escaped encroachment by this wretched invention.
