Not an issue for me since I run Linux and fldigi. The digital mode program fldigi simply gets the audio off the device at one of the native sampling rates of the device and does good quality sample rate conversion internally.

The FCC just says that: 1) spread spectrum is not allowed on HF, and 2) The Commission does not determine if a particular mode 'truly' represents spread spectrum, and 3) The licensee of the station transmitting the emission is responsible for determining that the operation of the station complies with the rules. Once Jose publishes a full specification for ROS (one that is complete enough to create an interoperable alternative implementation), US hams will be able to make the technical determination that the FCC requires us to make. Until then, there is no way to be sure whether or not ROS is legal to use in the US. We simply do not have enough info to make the determination. I expect that cautious US hams will avoid ROS until there is certainty that ROS is in fact legal. -- All rights reversed.

The effect is especially pronounced when moving from a low frequency to a high frequency, eg. having an 80m QSO and then moving to 12m. The attenuation can be quite significant and it may be useful to transmit a short tone (a fraction of a second is enough) to get your antenna tuned on that band. Of course, after you do that, reception on the band will be enhanced. One reason that this effect is not seen with internal tuners is that the tuner is only present in the transmit path inside the radio - the tuner is never used for receive. With an external tuner, you may need to tickle it to get better reception - but IMHO that is outweighed by the potential of getting better reception. -- All rights reversed.

Maybe not in exactly the same way as true spread spectrum, since the carrier position is still somewhat dependent on the data content. On the other hand, from the ROS documentation it appears that the carrier location in ROS is also still dependent on data content (as well as a pseudo-random sequence). Carrier location it ROS is, as far as I can tell (Jose will know for sure), dependent on both the data being transmitted and the pseudo-random sequence being used. > The FCCs problem is that the military uses FHSS and DSSS to hide the > existance and content of their transmissions thus preventing the > monitoring that the FCC is required to do of amateur signals.

Not AXX CXX DXX FXX GXX HXX JXX or RXX. You can read the rules as strictly as you want and limit your activities that way, but I believe some common sense questions like "does this mode take more bandwidth than other modes?" and "does this mode cause more interference than already allowed modes?" will carry more weight than the choice of a single word in the description of the modulation. Modes that jump around inside an SSB passband according to a pseudo-random number sequence are already legal, and in fairly widespread use, on the HF amateur bands. Modes that send a data stream across multiple sub carriers inside an SSB passband are already legal, and in widespread use, on the HF amateur bands. ROS is not doing anything different. The only thing different is one single word in the creator's description of the modulation. If you want to limit your own activities on the HF bands, feel free to give more importance to that single word than to the technical details of the ROS modulation. -- All rights reversed.

Spread-spectrum emissions using bandwidth-expansion modulation emissions having designators with A, C, D, F, G, H, J or R as the first symbol; X as the second symbol; X as the third symbol. ROS has no ITU designator marking it as spread spectrum. Furthermore, from part 97.307 places this limitation on any data mode transmitted in the HF bands: (2) No non-phone emission shall exceed the bandwidth of a communications quality phone emission of the same modulation type. The total bandwidth of an independent sideband emission (having B as the first symbol), or a multiplexed image and phone emission, shall not exceed that of a communications quality A3E emission. ROS follows this rule. In short, ROS has not been ruled to be a spread spectrum mode by the FCC or the ITU, and fits within the bandwidth of a phone communications signal on HF. It also follows the common sense rule of not causing any harm on the HF bands. It really is not much different from the other data modulations out there. JT65, Throb and RTTY also have empty space between carrier positions.

IIRC the Tech license pool does not include all the questions about RF safety, nor about use of the ALC, etc... I believe the power limit and frequencies HF use by Tech licensed amateurs should be low. Maybe 10-20W power limit, in a few limited frequency ranges (staying away from the most crowded bands).

This is good advice in general, however W1AW is about S9+40 here, which makes it 50-60dB stronger than the psk31 signals surrounding it. Sound card dynamic range is a theoretical 96dB, but much less in practice. Probably closer to 70dB (optimistic). To properly decode psk31 you want a S/N ratio of over 10dB, so even switching off the AGC may not be enough due to sound card limitations. > 3.

This is certainly doable, but due to the slope of the filters in most radios, you will end up cutting off most psk signals above 3581 kHz (or below 3582), so you can inspect slices of 1/3 of the psk subband. > I have three different rigs I use for PSK (and other digital modes) > and every one of them lets me work PSK in the presence of a strong > signal.

[digitalradio] An open letter: W1AW and 80m psk31 interference
Due to an unfortunate coincidence, W1AW's CW broadcasts pretty much wipe out the 80m psk31 sub-band for a significant fraction of the time. To try and address this, I have sent the following open letter to W1AW at the ARRL, and also published it on my web site: http://surriel.com/radio/w1aw-psk-interference Original Message Subject: W1AW and 80m psk31 interference Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:04:58 -0400 From: Rik van Riel To: w1aw To whom it may concern, The W1AW broadcasts are a great tradition and a help to some amateur radio operators, and do not seem to be in the way on most of the amateur radio bands. However, the W1AW CW broadcast on the 80 meter band, on 3581.5 kHz, is right in the middle of the psk31 sub band. Needless to say, a high power CW station pretty much wipes out the nearby psk31 signals, which are typically transmitted at low power. While strictly speaking it is legal to transmit CW anywhere on the band (I will not go into the legality of broadcasting on the ham bands), I believe we can agree that putting a strong signal right in the middle of a band segment dedicated to lower power operation is not what the ARRL's "Considerate Operator's Frequency Guide"[1] would call considerate. Because putting a high power CW broadcast in the middle of the psk31 sub band (which sees activity whenever there is propagation) is guaranteed to cause interference to active operators, I hope you would consider moving the W1AW CW broadcast to a frequency where interference is merely a possibility and not a guaranteed issue. The interference issue is especially severe due to the fact that the W1AW transmissions are scheduled on an almost daily basis, several times a day[2], wiping out the 80m psk31 subband for a significant fraction of the time. Since the W1AW CW broadcast is an automatically controlled transmission, maybe it would be better in the band segment assigned to automatically controlled data stations (3585-3590). Another good choice could be 3579.5 kHz, which would put the W1AW broadcast 500 Hz below the psk31 segment, just like it is on the 17 and 15 meter bands. kind regards, Rik van Riel, AB1KW [1] http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/conop.html [2] http://www.arrl.org/w1aw.html#w1awsked
