Such a petition has been filed by other hams who may be more qualified
to do so than you or I. They are Alan Wormser, N5LF, Frederick Adsit,
NY2V and Michael Dinelli, N9BOR. They also want to retain Morse
because they are FISTS members but they have pointed out some of the
same allegations with regard to the technical dumbing down of the April
15th three grade R & O system as I have here and have suggested some of
the same remedies.

Speak for yourself but don't forget there might be other Hams who would
tend to agree with me... especially among the digital experimenter
types. What are NGs for if not to express differing opinions??? Who
are the "we" who "don't care"??? Those who disagree with me may care
and I can respect their opinions if they have logical reasons, as well
as respect your opinion, weighing the relative merits logically.
As I see it now the R & O has gone too far in the wrong direction.

I am not a lawyer but I hold a BSEE and a MSEd which qualifies me as an
electrical engineer and a teacher. I am presently retired and serve as
a liaison VE.

Hams need more license classes or at least bigger question pools,

Subject: Need help checking out a KAM+ on 1200 baud VHF packet
I am brand new to VHF packet, and am trying to check out a used KAM+ I
just purchased. I have it connected to my FT-847.
I hear a lot of packet activity here (near Augusta, GA) on 145.75, but
cannot print a single character of it! I assume it is 1200 baud, but I
don't know that for sure. Is it likely to be 9600, which would explain
my lack of copy? If so, where can I find 1200 to copy?
The receive LED on the KAM+ lights when I unsquelch the radio (and
when the 145.74 packet "noise" breaks the squelch, also). Also, when I
do a "connect" command to a fictitious station, the FT-847 seems to
transmit OK, so I probably have my KAM+ to FT-847 cable wired up AOK.
Any tips? I just want to make sure everything is working OK.

Well, if it sounds like a 'hisss' -- almost like an unsquelched
FM radio, then it's 9600. If you hear tones
it's 1200. I'm not familiar with the
KAM+, but I run my KPC9612 unsquelched. That is with the
squelch open all the way. Even if the KAM+ can't run unsquelched
opening up the squelch shouldn't affect your receive. There's
a setting for this on the 9612.
(It's possible, but not really certain, that your squelch is
slow, and is cutting off the beginning of packets -- but it's
something to check.)
I agree, that it sounds like it's wired up right, if you see the
'receive LED' light up when you unsquelch. Hmm.
