Paul- Thank you much for this cogent explanation of the use of the word "robust" in the digital RF context. I have rarely read a better explanation of ANY such concept. Your post might be digested to "good, professional programming". Your post is Very Good, but others seem to be less careful in

Joel, you have made the claim below: "You don't have to use Pactor III (the mode that SCS -- and only SCS - - supports); it's just arguably the most robust, fastest mode out there." I know English fairly well, but this use of the word "robust" is not clear to me. Can you give me a definition relat
