Bonnie, For some reason I am not understanding clearly what you have been saying. Previously you said that ALE is not being used to frequency hop. What is your definition of "frequency hopping" vs. transmitting on a series of channels? (As I stated earlier, this has no connection with FHSS).
You have never addressed the issue that if you are hopping (or moving) from one frequency to another for a brief period of a second or so, and transmitting data on a series of frequencies without listening for any reasonable length of time, how do you prevent QRMing a busy frequency due to the hidden transmitter effect? Do you feel that the rules allow you to do this any place that voice transmissions are currently allowed?
