Are you on a witch hunt, John?
I did nothing but analyze ROS with FSK and present the findings to this
group. On the basis of the ROS emissions, all other "facts" brought up
here that you allude to are irrelevant. The signature of the ROS mode
clearly fits the definition of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum as
originally documented by the author and easily found in literature or
the Wikipedia.
A technical description can always be rewritten to suit an agenda, as we
can see, but the truth lies only in what is transmitted and how it is
transmitted. That is all the FCC cares about, and we as hams are held
responsible for emissions that comply with the FCC regulations, whether
or not we like them.
The "authority" is not myself, but the FCC regulations as they currently
stand. If you don't like them, then petition to have them changed
instead of trying to blame me instead of the author, who correctly
described ROS as FHSS at the outset, which mode's emission signature
clearly shows is true: http://home.comcast.net/~hteller/compare.zip

Andy, since you have chosen to moderate very specific posts to slant
the discussion in favor of your own agenda, and that of several
prominent other frequent posters, this reflector has become
effectively useless to me. It is unfortunate that it comes to this. I
know you do not care who you lose and that is quite alright. Certain
members of your group have a specific agenda and it is not necessarily
in the best interest of ham radio. The word "characterization" has
been used recently by at least on of them. Yet this same individual
seems to have no problem whatsoever using mis-characterizations
himself to further his own agenda. This entire drama was primarily
generated by Skip, and his own desire to be "the authority", yet he
consistently ignores certain facts that have been brought up by
numerous other posters, including myself.
You do not need to concern yourself with moderating my posts any
further to protect your agenda. I am outta here ....
