Word has it that the FCC has released a rule change effective 28 October that relaxes the limitations on digital emissions in the amateur service. The new limits will be as follows: bands max bit rate max bandwidth 10m 1200 6,2m 19.6K 20khz 1.25m+up 56K 50khz The new rules also allow non-ascii codes to be used, provided that both stations in a contact are within the USA. (Don't ask me why.) More info as available. Phil Karn, KA9Q
