Re: [digitalradio] ROS discussion - will it ever end
I propose we change this group name to the... ROS Roundabout. I keep seeing the same arguments from the same preple over and over. That reminds me of GroundHog Day the movie. :-) I am so over the whole discussion, not to mention the ops who insist on firing up ROS16 on 30m at 10141 right in the middle of a band full of PSK31 signals. de Laurie, VK3AMA Marco IK1ODO -2 wrote: At 10:00 01-03-10, G4JNT wrote: rgh I agree 100% :-) - it has become a sterile discussion, IMHO. 73 - Marco IK1ODO / AI4YF

Data comms is much more than just the technicalities. To be sure, there have been some nonsensical posts here on this matter, and some people seem to have been incredibly naive in their dealings with ARRL and the FCC, but the fact remains that we are all constrained by the legalities as well as the technicalities. Let the discussion continue. -- 73 Ian, G3NRW

[digitalradio] ROS discussion - will it ever end
rgh I don't hink I can stand it any more and will just have to unsubscribe from this group.I originally joined it as being the author of the Data column in RSGB's RadCom, felt I ought to keep in touch with the people who actually use the datamodes and was hoping for a decent set of technical-type postings on the way datamode usage was moving amongst amateurs. But close to 1000 postings on the legality or otherwise of using a bog-standard SSB bandwidth single tone hopped frequency diversity system is just too much. If your FCC is anything like Ofcom, they'd just rather amateurs got on with their life and bothered them as slittle as possible, at least until a real issue arises. Its not as if you have the death penalty over there. (Actually, yes you do don't you, but presumably not for exceeding the regulated bandwidth on the amateur bands) "It is far, far easier to beg forgiveness that it is to ask Permission" - Solon - the lawmaker of Athens, 437 BCE Andy www.g4jnt.com
