That's a new one to me. The concern I'm hearing is that 3 kHz at the -26 dB points isn't sufficient for SSB. It's a little surprising that this is surfacing now, since nothing has changed in the proposal in that regard since last August, but we'll research it. Better it's coming up now than three months from now.

If I understand the EC's proposal, the digital modes will be limitted to 3KHz at HF frequencies. I'm hearing from my digital experts that this isn't enough bandwidth to keep from severly limitting the data rates that can be obtained. Anyone else hearing this?
