Hi Matt, I think that Steve is making more of the DLP legal issues than is warranted. Again, I would be that they would respond to a request for interpretation by either saying no problem, or just ignoring the request. Maybe true of NTIA? Question: what kind of speeds are you seeing under

Steve, This software is being used by a handful of regions in two of the three services. why ? this now gives stations the capability to send messages at very fast speed with out having to purchase very expensive hardware. which makes us all more efficient.

Hi Rick, The last time I checked they had still not released the details of the Data Link Protocol (DLP) being used, which could be just about anything by the way, which means FCC rules make it's use illegal. As to Matt's use of it on MARS, there too its prohibuted as it needs approval for

The program claims to be compatible with MIL-STD 188-110, thus it would be very surprising if the FCC did not allow its use here in the U.S. I suppose if it did not interoperate with any other MIL-STD-188-110 modem, then you could get suspicious about how it functions, but almost no hams would

Since the modem is readily available for anyone, including the FCC to use, I don't see any of this as a problem. I might agree that technically speaking, it could be a violation of the rules as you point out, but I suspect that if asked, the FCC would either say no problem, or more likely

I too would like to see this and I think that I have asked this same question in the past but the only hams who can do this are those who have the SCS modems, so it is a very small number. The main limitation of the RFSM modems seems to be when the signals are weaker than around +5 or 10 above
