"Some people" will always live in the past.

Could be they (TAPR) don't want to limit themselves to a technology that is
now fully obsolete, and 90% of Hams have abandoned.


Ah yes, that obsolete technology called ... radio.

Even wireless devices have abandoned Spread Spectrum, and gone for OFDM
for speed (802.11g).

The many flavours of OFDM are, by definition, spread spectrum.

(Please leave me out of the rest of the argument - all of these topics
seem to get *way* out of hand and far too personal!)

Personally, I don't care about packet (ax.25), and "digital" to me means vocoders,
PSK, and OFDM. ax.25 would be the "misc" of this "digital" forum.

I also don't need your sniveling about your most hated organization. Get over it.

AOR has an OFDM modem for HF that does 2400 baud with 1200 baud of FEC.
Why would anyone use packet anymore?

TAPR doesn't.
