To avoid pathological conditions such as a long sequence of 0's, which would make clock recovery from the signal difficult. You want to have bit transitions as frequent as possible (ideally within a few symbol periods of each other) to avoid these issues, and the scrambler does that. 73 de VK3JED http://vkradio.com
