Since I've been travelling in Asia, I just now had a chance to read the recent FCC omnibus ruling. It seems that many hams, including ARRL (and myself) were confused by the initial reports and synopsis of the R&O and the ruling. That is not surprising, since the FCC actions were poorly written, self-contradictory, and unclear. But, the new FCC definition of "Data" does not have the effect that some of us thought from the first news.
Here is a list I just put together, to better understand which common ham digital modes are affected or not affected by the new FCC rules. I don't see any common digital data modes being used by hams that are J2D. It seems that ARRL and everyone else were worried about a 500Hz J2D limit over nothing. 73---Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA Emission Designators for Common Amateur Radio Digital Data / Text / Fax Frequency Modulated RTTY (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C MFSK (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C ALE (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C PACTOR (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C PACKET (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C FSK31 (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C 8FSK DTM ARQ (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C 8FSK DBM ARQ (FSK) = F1D / F1B / F1C FMHELL (FSK) = F1B / F1C Phase Modulated BPSK31 (PSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C QPSK31 (QPSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C PSK63 (PSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C Q15X25 (QPSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C MT63 (DBPSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C PACTORII (DPSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C PACTORIII (DBPSK or DQPSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C MIL-STD 188-110 (PSK) = G1D / G1B / G1C Amplitude and Angle Modulated Simultaneously Olivia (AMFSK) = D1D / D1B / D1C OFDM (AMPSK) = D1D / D1B / D1C Duration or Position Modulated FELDHELL (PWM) = L1B / L1C FELDHELL (PPM) = M1B / M1C New FCC Data Definition effective 15 December 2006: (2) Data.
