For what purpose? If he's not a ham, then it isn't to support the amateur community. However, I can think of a lot of uses for a low-power system using a low-profile antenna that is designed to work under the noise floor; especially useful for military, government, and even some more sinister uses. So his hobby is programming … he gives us a great soft for free and we should take that chance I think that a lot of people have a hard time with some of Jose's actions, such as hard-coding QRGs into the software, and hard-coding a persona-non-grata listing (in which I am included) of hams that are forbidden from using the software simply for criticizing some aspect of it. Since Jose isn't doing all of this work just for amateur radio, and since he isn't willing to accept criticism and suggestions from the amateur community, it is natural to question the ultimate purpose of the software. Until Jose comes clean, opens up the software to all amateurs (including those on the persona-non-grata list), and graciously accepts both suggestions and criticism, many people will continue to campaign strongly against the mode. There, I went the whole response without mentioning the (il)legality of the mode in the USA. -- Dave K3DCW www.k3dcw.net Real radio bounces off of the sky

I think Dave sums it up to how most of us feel about Jose and ROS! just my 2 cents worth...73, Alan
Re: [digitalradio] my thoughts about ROS (was Ros on 40m)
There is one thing about Jose that does not make sense... if he is as devious and untrustworthy ass some suggest...and he has had to put up with much criticism and anguish, WHY does he persists with ROS? He has not asked for money (that I am aware of), he has spent HOURS and HOURS adding new features and responding to customer requests. Sure someone with unscrupulous motives would have given up by now. Andy K3UK On Wed, Jul 7, 2010 at 9:35 PM, Alan J.

Just another part of the mystery, I guess Andy...a lot about ROS makes no sense one way or another.
