If the first generation of digital was PACKET-IRLQ-Echolink-APRS (generation Zero was CW and RTTY), then the second generation was D-Star. D-Star brought everything together along with digital voice. While D-Star is great, its technology is already dated. So what will the third generation of

I can tell you why. Because P3 is 2.4khz wide and every other mode you mentioned is much smaller so it takes up less spectrum and the fact that it is being used for email that is technically against part 97 because there is an alternative called sailmail out there. Greg KC7GNM

The original pactor is fine since it is only 200hz wide. Even P2 is fine but when a station transmits on PIII now we are wasting 2.4khz of bandwidth using a mode that is only 30% faster than P2 but 500% wider. That is why it has a bad rap. Greg KC7GNM --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John

Bonnie you keep forgetting one important factor in your automatic scenario. There has to be a human on either end to 1) send the message and 2) to read the message. What is the winlink station going to do? Automatically send food and water? Greg KC7GNM --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com
