So??? SSTV has been around since 1958 and since then the number of users has grown dramatically, but they only use one calling frequency on 20m. More users imply more patience and timing when to call CQ, among ROS users, because the frequency is in use. It does not imply hard coding more calling frequencies into the software. The result of hard coding the three calling frequencies is that ROS user see these frequencies as "their" frequencies. While in fact the frequency should be SHARED with others. So if the frequency is in use by a pactor client connecting to a pactor server, ROS users should wait until the frequency is free again. But since most users see it as "their" frequency, they just call on top of other modes. That is the daily practice on 144103/14112/14115. Because of that I am often unable to reach US WINMOR servers, while a few months ago I could connect every day. Howcome ROS has three frequencies within a few months? Because of the anti-HAM radio and egocentric behavior of the developer and the users of ROS. So I doubt their intentions and motives Sigi. And have good reasons for that. That's what I'm saying. So it's not about the banned calls list and the auto-spots not existing anymore. It's about the fact that they have been there. The fact that Jose Nieto-ROS intentionally included several functions that contradict common HAM operating practice that is the "problem". Cahnging functions in software is easily done, changing one's motives and mindset is a completely different matter... Marc
