Digital Modes Petition RM-11831 generates debate

Technology news site The Register has published a article about the
proposal to restrict amateur radio digital modes to just those
available as open source

The FCC is currently accepting comments on a Petition for Rule Making
(RM-11831) seeking to amend FCC Part 97 rules that require all ham
radio digital transmissions to use techniques “whose technical
characteristics have been documented publicly.” The Petition, filed by
Ron Kolarik, K0IDT, of Lincoln, Nebraska, expresses concerns that some
currently used digital modes are not readily and freely able to be
decoded, and it asks the FCC to require all digital codes to use
protocols that “can be monitored in [their] entirety by third parties
with freely available, open-source software,” per §97.113(a)(4).

It is thought a wide range of amateur radio digital modes would be
adversely impacted if the petition were adopted.

Technology website The Register has now published an article on
RM-11831 written by Thomas Claburn which covers some of the arguments,
