I believe PACTORII did that.  You connected at the slower speed and if the 
through put was good it went to the higher speed.  I also think that some guys 
had this feature controlling the ALC of the rig too.  The better copy, the 
lower the output.  when the copy started to get poor, the rig power went up.

Nothing new, just different mode.

One the 75 baud, about ever 5 to 10 years this comes up.  Everyone always go's 
back to 45 baud after playing.

REPLY:

Perhaps we need software that automatically changes speeds with hand
conditions. A couple of scenarios come to mind:

1. You CQ at 75 baud. If the replying station is having trouble
decoding you, he answers at 45 baud, and your software changes to 45
baud for the rest of the QSO, then back to 75 baud when complete.

or

You CQ at 45 baud. If the replying station believes you will copy him
ok, he replies at 75 baud and if you copy ok, you change to 75 baud
and complete the QSO. The change would be semi-automatic, i.e. your
software would detect the 75 baud and ask if you want to change. 

Might be a solution. What do you think?
