Is it even legal for hams, though??
The authorities seem to feel they have to be able to monitor what we
put out (somewhere in the licence conditions, I believe) and SSC makes
that extremely difficult for them to say the least.

It is legal, provided you use the FCC-approved spreading polynomials
and whatnot and hold your mouth right. So long as you do it the FCC
way, they have no trouble monitoring.

I see. Well we're not governed by the FCC here in Little Britland, so
I guess it's probably illegal to use it in the UK. Perhaps a G with a
licence to hand can verify...
