I agree that the 300 baud symbol rate limitation should be raised, Steve, but
this should be accomplished without making the
“interference from automatic stations” situation worse – as the ARRL’s petition
would do if accepted.
The “interference from automatic stations” problem has been denied, ignored,
and slow-rolled for years; the two-step approach you
suggest below would continue this pattern. Automatic stations should not be
permitted to use faster digital modes until an effective
means of reducing their interference to ongoing QSOs has been instituted.

Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Why (and How) You Should Urge the FCC to Reject the
ARRL's Symbol Rate Petition
Dave the ARRL petition if approved would allow
many waveforms to be utilized by U.S. Amateurs
for applications beyond just unattended message
traffic servers and the use of the new PACTOR IV
waveforms. Many existing non-proprietary
waveforms and of course those not yet developed
and their potential applications are limited by
the ridiculous and outdated FCC 300 baud symbol rate limitation.
Dave your effort to obstruct this much needed
change to the FCC rules for an improved Amateur
Radio Service HF capability is a bit misguided
from my perspective. The better approach with
respect to your concerns and efforts would be to
file your own petition with the FCC to mandate
that all unattended automatic servers provide
busy channel detection with the demonstrated
ability to detect any waveform that is legal for
use under the FCC rules. I would think everyone
would back such a rule making effort on your part
100%, just as I think everyone should back
RM-11708 as initiated by the ARRL 100%.
Sincerely,
/s/ Steve, N2CKH
