In my previous posting, I am aware that 14.150 is the lowest frequency for SSB and that is for US extra class licenses only too. 14.130 would require the FCC rules be changed which would mean DV be defined as a digital mode and not a voice mode. So 14.130 is not a frequency we could move to unless the rules changed. With the IARU band plan backing, maybe this would help get the rules changed to identify DV as a digital mode and allow us to use 14.130?
Perhaps, this is wishful thinking on my part and maybe we would run into “other” QRM on .130, but I doubt it could be worse than it is on 14.236.

So then, what are the requirements for that, assuming that 14.130 was adopted by the FCC and the IARU.
If it’s defined that way, does it mean that we would be locked to ONLY that single frequency, instead of having the ability to move between a whole band segment like today?
That would certainly be problematic for sure.
If it gets reclassified as a digital mode, that would open up 30 meters as an option, so certainly some value in that.
Being away from the competition of SSB would really be nice for sure.

So if that’s the case, then is there anything at all to stop us from adopting 14.130 for FreeDV right now on 20 meters?

Early in the days of DV, I asked the ARRL about this and ARRL’s Paul Rinaldo told me DV was “J2E” and had to be used in the SSB segments of the our bands. There were not many popular “wide” digital modes on HF like DRMDV/WinDRM DV back then. Perhaps, DV’s wider BW at the time had something to do with its classification to keep it in the SSB segment.
As Bruce and others have said, regulate by BW as nothing else makes sense.

Digital Mode references computer to computer text not computer to computer VOICE. There is the difference, not the wave form type.

Hi all,
Here in Austria we only have BW regulations and we can use any mode within, but it has to be documented somewhere.
