1 Does anybody have a feel for how many Hams are using PII and PIII for keyboard QSOs?
2. SCS has a patent on these modes. What exactly is patented? I know the hardware must be, and probably a software element like compression can be patented, but what else? 3. In reference to 2, is it possible to patent tone and modulation techniques? 4. If 4 is false, then couldn't a "mode" be reverse engineered, and then changes made to the patented portions? I am in no way suggesting that this be done with any particular mode or format. 73... Jon W1MNK http://www.w1mnk.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
