ROS is one voice channel wide, it seems to have been conceived for a 3 kHz wide voice channel, as usual with SSB radios. Its width is comparable with accepted modes like MT63 or Olivia xx:2000. It is not an automated mode, it is meant for keyboarding. Its spectrum spreading is hardly the way Wi

The FCC is only concerned with what happens to the resultant RF energy and what is done with it, not how that RF is generated. In the case of ROS, if the data is applied to an RF carrier and the frequency then hopped, that would classify it as spread spectrum. The rules are FCC rules and curre

There are two very common misconceptions in that theory. The first is that SS is unto itself not always a fully digital mode. and A, F, or J in that case indicates the nature of the narrow band signal being spread. So SS with a J designator would be an SSB signal digitally spread by the PN cod

Rik, Did you see the recent post by K3DCW? The closest you get to a true definition in Part 97 is in section 97.3 Definitions, Para C, line 8: /(8) SS/. Spread-spectrum emissions using bandwidth-expansion modulation emissions having designators with A, C, D, F, G, H, J or R as

All, It would appear that ROS-16 is not much different than say Olivia 128 / 2K. The number of tones may differ, but they both use MFSK modulation with sequential tones running at 16 baud. The question is how can ROS be considered a SS frequency hoping mode while Olivia and it's derivatives ar
