a.k.a. wish list; I suppose this would reduce the attractivene$$ of the ID-1,
but what if Icom had created a "9600 baud data mode" with a dd (two lower case
D's) mode as well as the DV and DD modes for the vhf/uhf rigs? We would call
this the "not as slow data mode", and the radio display would work as a simple
display screen for a really dumb terminal. Either one module in a stack would
be dedicated to this mode, or the dd packet would be identifiable so that
radios in the DV mode would not try to decode the audio. Error correction
would have been included, so the actual rate would be less than 9600, but still
3 or 4X the current low speed rate, and the radios would be useful for more
than they are now. Probably just another Friday PM daydream. CQ FD! 73--John
