I agree Dave, and Chip64 was abandoned over here on the same basis!
ROS looks like a fun mode, so I hope the FCC will allow it in the future.

I'm with you, Skip. While I appreciate the effort Jose put into this
mode, I won't be using it on HF.
The article quoted as justification of the legality of ROS was written
by the Italian developer of Chip64 who is not under the jurisdiction
of the FCC. The ARRL lists it only as a technical reference to the
mode. Since the ARRL is NOT the regulatory agency, it really only
matters what shows up in Part 97; and under Part 97, Chip64 is also
illegal on HF in the US.

I am not excited! The FCC rules are plain and the description of
ROS by the author is frequency hopping, whether within a phone
signal bandwidth or not, so that identifies it as spread spectrum.
I am sure the FCC rules were intended to prevent overly wide
signals on HF using spread spectrum and therefore they only permit
spread spectrum above 222 Mhz, where there is plenty of room.
ROS is a really nice mode, but I will be using it only on 432 Mhz,
in accordance with our FCC regulations. Others under FCC
jurisdiction are welcome to use it at their own risk on HF.
The current FCC rules are also probably intended to allow FCC
monitoring which is not possible with conventional spread
spectrum, so I hope the rules can be changed for spread spectrum
modes like ROS which can be copied by third parties, but until
that happens, rules are rules, and we are legally obligated to
abide by them.
