Ron, How often are hams in the RTTY/data segment interfered with by 6 kHz bandwidth signals that originate from hams now? If the answer is they haven't been, you have your answer about the question.

Jeff, Best I can suggest is to contact with Charles N5PVL, as he had a site with information on how to do this that I can no longer find. Matthew Pitts N8OHU _________________________________________

My understanding from various sources is that Sorcerer also had a reverse engineered Pactor decoder, and that got the developer in trouble with SCS. Matthew Pitts N8OHU ______________________________

Ron, Ted has mentioned wide bandwidth voice modes, and so did you in a message to another list, which is why I asked the question I did. The point I am trying to to make is that these things would al

Ron, Yeah, I guess you're right; it's too bad folks have to feel threatened by things that won't happen to realize that maybe their version of events isn't the whole story. Sadly, it's those folks th

Dave, Claims of potential increases in QRM, nothing more. And without at least a year long test period where Pactor 4 and only that would be allowed, there is no way to prove to anyone on this and ot

Well, making the assumption that HF messaging (aka email) is the only draw to ham radio for some people is an example of rock bound thinking, as is thinking that the only kind of busy channel detecti
