Without intending to reopen the argument about spread spectrum, the FCC has spoken about the legality of the mode. A few US hams will argue that it isn't spread spectrum since it isn't any wider than a SSB channel. Spread spectrum has no bandwidth definition, it is a transmission technique plain a

I agree with Rein's concern. Given the actions of the author in the past, and the fact that he is not even part of the amateur radio community, I'd be very hesitant to use that mode in a program, not know knowing what other malicious code might be embedded in the ROS software. Except for the

Rein, There are several (around a dozen I think) amateur operators that are "prohibited" from using ROS by having their call signs hard-coded into a persona-non-grata listing in ROS. I am proud to be one of those ops. This has been extensively documented on QRZ in the following thread:

Julian, the problem is that the FCC regulations we live under are often more strict than the IARU bandplans. Under those regulations, RTTY/Data stops at 14.150. Furthermore, the IARU band plans are only "recommendations" for member organizations. The FCC regulations are "laws" we MUST follow.
