I think this is great that all these folks are
putting a lot of effort into mode development, and I do feel that the best will
naturally rise to the top.
There are lots of modes which have fallen off most
radar screens already, such as THROB, and more lately, MT63 seems to be fading
fast.
Think that this is a natural progression , and
should be encoouraged for the overall good of the hobby

1722
I've been following the list now for some months. I'm
an OOT first licensed
in 1960. And I am really interested in digital
communication as I've earned
my living up to now (retiring) as an EE
working with networks.
My question is: Does anyone ever ask: "Do
we need another digital Mode?"
It seems a new one is on the list about
every 14 days. It takes me about 30
minutes to figure out which mode
I should be decoding!!
I am seeing mode proliferation that looks like
it's being done to say "Look
a new mode and it does something better than
another mode, ...but not
everything, some things it does worse...
It's like the feature proliferation in mobile phones, Geez I just want
to
telephone with the thing and none of them can do as good a job as a
real
camera or a real MP3 player. But they are more expensive and if you
use the
features to send pictures etc. the provider is making a LOT of
money.
