That's a good analysis, Steinar. Is it possible to see if the pattern changes when sending data? That is all the FCC is concerned about. The pattern has to change when sending data and not just remain the same to exclude it from being FHSS. 73 - Skip KH6TY Steinar Aanesland wrote:

Looks like good news Steinar! If the data changes the frequencies, it does not qualify as FHSS as Jose originally claimed. I am sure the FCC will find the same during their tests and expect them to say it can be used on HF and VHF. I am especially interested in being able to use the 1 baud

Chapter 8 of the 2010 handbook has a short overview of spread-spectrum techniques that could be applied to either analog or digital modulation. The original signal cold be anything (BPSK, FSK, FM...) and is phase or frequency modulated by a pseudorandom sequence in order to spread the signal
