Question Potential Symbol Rate Restrictions Removal and D - Rats


 

Hi:
Regarding Nov FCC meeting that might be a big step to remove Symbol Rate Restriction on Amateur Bands.? ?

If removal applies to VHF and UHF bands, How that could potentially benefit D - Rats users?? VHF / UHF radios will require a firmware update to be able to function or take advantage of the change?? or new radios manufacturing will be required?? ?I am very positive as ARRL was a petitioner of that change and FCC talks about innovation, experimentation, digital modes and EMCOMM.? Those are my favorite Ham Radio words.??

Thanks in Advance!!

I don't see this change doing anything for DStar or D-Rats. If you use a newer radio and "fast data" you're about as fast as the data stream in DStar will support. It's basically serial packet data, as I understand it. It's just not AX25, it's digital. Could there be something faster using that digital signal? I have no idea, really.?
