Do you think this could this cause any similar problems on Ham digital
modes (amtor, pactor, sstv)? What about when we get into Ham digital voice
.. we ARE going to get digital voice in Ham radio eventually, aren't we?
It may make a difference for some of us as we design our systems ... unless
we wish to reconfigure when we discover troubles a few months or years down
the road.
Thanks & 73, DavidC AA1FA
