No, not by "content", except for unallowed transmission of music, pornography, business communications, etc., there is no regulation by "content". You can say or send whatever you wish. "Content" is the data delivered. The actual wording in the regulations is "emission type" instead of mode, bu

Yes, lots of modern transceivers have a dedicated data mode, but they're generally too wide for optimal RTTY reception. In contrast, consider the Twin Peak filter available on recent Icom transceivers, for example; it's only available with the transceiver's mode set to RTTY. 73,

The advantage of using FSK is that one can take advantage of the excellent RTTY filters built into some transceivers. These filters are generally not available when operating in USB/LSB. This is particularly important to contesters operating in a crowded environment and DXers dealing with weak sign

The hope was that PSK63 could replace RTTY, being both spectrally more efficient, and more usable for a panoramic presentation for contesters to see who is on the band, but it never came about. Too bad, I think, because it would help reduce congestion during contests. PSK63's overall time to co

Your are right, Julian. The current regulations mostly protect phone users from interference by other modes and digital users are left to figure out how to share what space is left. The division is approximately 50-50 between phone and digital "what the FCC calls 'data/RTTY'". This is a holdove
