Hey, TU Skip KH6TY for your time and the pic.

Wow, I don't see and random-ness to Chip64 yet it is DSSS.

Jose has posted/published Technical Spec for ROS if you care to look:

Mike,

I have uploaded the comparison you requested for ROS (16 baud this time 
for better comparison overall) compared to CHIP64, both idling:

It is hard to see what happens when you send data in CHIP64 as the 
signal looks a lot like noise, but you can definitely ascertain a fixed 
pattern in the noise at idle. I can't spot any repetitive pattern in 
ROS, even at 16 baud. Perhaps you can. When you send data, it is hard to 
see any change in CHIP64. From the image, it looks like the spreading in 
CHIP64 is by a fixed pattern, and perhaps the data modulates the fixed 
carriers. Anyway, I have not seen the technical description, so I don't 
know. I'll leave it to you to more accurately interpret the images. I 
had to use MultiPSK instead of DigiPan this time to get better detail 
regarding amplitude with corresponding colors.

Hey Skip KH6TY,

Could you show us a pic of Chip64 (your choice to compare it to ROS)?

Have a look at the links on my message 34845:

The author of Chip64 uses DSSS but in a much narrow BW than ROS. How 
it works is very nicely disclosed.


Since your currently closer (according to QRZ) to the ARRL VA Section 
NTS than I, perhaps you could listen for the Virginia Digital Net 
(VDN) 1915 Eastern M-F 3578.5 kHz who advertises/promotes using Chip64.


I appreciate all that you and the author of ROS have done for amateur 
radio.

May be they  can drive over the  boarder to  Canada or Mexico and  work ROS / P 
 ? I thought  prohibition had been abandoned over there and Edgar had been 
outed . some things just don't change .. makes the  9 khz discussion on this  
side look quite  tame ! G .. 

Keep going Jose ..
