Also, the rules regarding the center frequencies are not clear. (they are) FT8 doesn’t have a carrier. (yes it does, it's suppressed, but it's still the carrier frequency) It’s SSB suppressed

Thank you for the answer Kari. It seemed to cure the problem. I could not find the cure because it is KDE problem. 73 de OH2AWG, Esa N

Ria, Your logic for "not dead center" flawed. Otherwise I'm with you. An FT8 signal is NOT an SSB signal, it is an FT8 signal. WSJT-X is written so that an SSB transmitter can generate any of a dozen

exactly my point, we can only transmit on the 1500 hz, that's our rule, we have to follow our rules, non US hams have other rules they have to abide by.. are you saying that we do not have to stick

That’s not what the regulations say. Also, FCC and NTIA have no jurisdiction on foreign hams, who are allowed generally to operate where they pleAse. A lot of the traffic is DX Ria N2RJ

PSK31 is classified as a RTTY mode. They had to specifically include it. The R&O explained why they had to be specific, because they specifically have RTTY listed in part 97. Ria N2RJ

Again, I’m combating false information. Yes, I am a director of the ARRL. Yes I do work with staff who are involved in regulations and enforcement including our counsel who writes comments and

not when it's used like it is on the other bands there's only ONE spot (1500hz) we US hams can transmit on, and cannot when others are transmitting on the channel that's right there on the band

PSK31 is a different mode, emission type 60H0J2B AG0NY -- “It is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering — only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world.” Nikola Tesla

Also, the rules regarding the center frequencies are not clear. FT8 doesn’t have a carrier. It’s SSB suppressed carrier. It’s FSK and its signal shifts during transmission. The word “may”

I see you're a director with the ARRL, GREAT, giving a "refresher" to someone on how to read an emission type is, and always will be a bit snarky, I question FT8's appropriateness much more than lack

Hey! Has anybody asked about 60 meters and FT8?

I think we've just about killed this subject. If you couple of guys want to keep arguing minutia, spare us other hundreds and take it off-line already.  GEEEEESH! de   Bob  K8BL/5

97.307(f)(14) has the table of allowed emissions for 60m. It states that 2K80J2D is an allowed emission type. FT8 is a J2D emission that is less than 2.8kHz in bandwidth therefore it falls under

except the R&O is not the law, CFAR is, it specifically states PACTORIII, PSK31 CW and RTTY not all iterations of these emissions codes, so, no, it's NOT clear there, but, that's my interpretation,

Umm, I think that you missed the point... YOU are the secondary user, they don't need to tell you anything, you just follow the rules in place and monitor the frequency, keep your TX on the correct

The R&O is crystal clear. 28. Finally, we agree with commenters that limiting digital operation to a specific technique discourages the further development of additional techniques, which may be more

from the R&O here...
