I think that you may be ignoring me John, and possibly for good reasons. However, and I do hate to be a wet blanket, but your opponents in the USA are not going to go away just because you want them to. And I talk as one who wants ROS to be legal in the USA, as well as everywhere else, so that we can all use the mode. Now that some people have it in their heads that ROS is Spread Spectrum you have an up hill task to persuade them that it isn't. You now also have a number of people who have all the ammunition to fire back if you say to the FCC that this isn't Spread Spectrum, as they've also seen the same communications on here that I have. Unfortunately, what we have now is some people who want to stop this mode of transmission in the USA who seem to have obtained a decree from a referent power that it is illegal. Unless you can get a retraction, or a decree from a higher authority, the Amateur Radio enthusiasts that wish to stop other Amateur Radio enthusiasts will just report the one lot of Radio Amateurs to the authorities in the hope that they will stop that lot of Radio Amateurs from enjoying the bands. To go back to a Stranger in a Strange Land, you will grok that some of us wish to hate the others. Dave (G0DJA)
