Re: [44net] a common vendor neutral hardware/software stack for 44net. - was Re: hardware vs. software

I was thinking the same thing. If it's a data transmission then yes obviously the bandwidth rules apply. If it's an image transmission then a different set of rules apply. If its a spread spectrum transmission then 97.311 applies. The problem is defining what you are transmitting. http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/wireless/70cm-ATV-HSMM.html As for chewing the the band. You really have to look at it on a case by case basis, geographically. Where I live, 70cm is pretty dead, so a 5 MHz wide signal isn't a big deal. 15 years ago a guy was playing with analog ATV and that really did rip up the band, as it had no real filtering, and at the time the band was active. Anyway this isn't the place to discuss rules in my opinion. However if we keep connecting slow speed conventional radios to the amprnet, then it will continue to be what is has for the last 20+ years. I am glad to see some people thinking out of the box, and exploring different technologies. Getting back on topic, I read there was a recent presentation titled "Providing authenticated amateur radio services on the Internet", is there a paper or video available for those of us who didn't attend?
