Hi, Is this mode perrmitted on the suggested frequency, 14236? According to the FCC US band plan this is in the "phone" band where CW, "phone" and "image" is permitted. I have never seen a precise definition of "phone" but take it to be either AM or SSB. Same for "image" but I am sure the original intention was analog SSTV. Currently there is a lot of digital image transfer going on at 14233 but I question the legality of that, too. I am concerned with the creepage into our phone bands of wide digital modes with their raw audio when tuning in SSB mode. The occupants of these frequencies are also typically very protective of "their" frequencies and tend to be intolerant of "intruders".
