Rep. Lesko Going After FCC Symbol Rate Limits (AGAIN)!

Post author By admin
Post date August 25, 2023

Since the 1980’s amateur radio operators in the US have been limited on how much data they can transmit over the air via a Symbol Rate. For decades since then, The ARRL and members of our government have been pushing to move from Symbol Rate to Bandwidth Rate limits for data. A few months back, Rep. Lesko met with the FCC to discuss the matter. See the following links for more information!

Article from the ARRL with links to Rep. Lesko’s Bill
