I don't know about the ARRL DV WG's request. However, I believe that
the League and its legal staff have come to understand that you don't
want to ask the FCC for a ruling as you probably are going to get the
strictest agency answer in writing which will/may cause you to have
to request a rules change which the agency DOES NOT want to do...it
is VERY time comsuming and all agency staffs have been cut due to
budget constraints.
>>>The ARRL has submitted its "bandwidth proposal", which is a
request for a rules change. Does this proposal clarify or alter the
symbol rate limitation?
Thus the thought process is don't ask don't tell and its easier to
ask forgiveness than permission. At least I HOPE that is the
position the League has taken.
Do what you feel is in accordance with good communications
engineering technology advancement and amateur radio practice.
>>>So any ham can do what he or she wants as long as they personally
believe its "good communications engineering technology advancement
and amateur radio practice"? That's a recipe for chaos, Walt.
Remember that a "ticket" from the FCC can always be asnwered
with..."sorry about that, I will quit doing it." And then quit doing
it until you get an STA, experimental license or rule change.
>>>That's easy for you to say, but then you won't have been the one
who put countless hours into designing, implementing, and testing the
software, will you?
>>>Its already been noted here that attracting software developers to
this sort of project is a challenge. Adding "oh, and we'll find out
whether the ARRL will let us use it after you build it" to the
equation won't help much.
>>>If we're going to continue this thread, I suggest we move it to
Digital Radio Policy.
