[aprssig] RF modulations techniques

[Andrew Rich]

Gudday

I was driving along as you do and pondered this thought.

The existing packet radio systems turn data into tones and then modulate up
to vhf and then do the reverse.

A digi comes back down to audio and the does the reverse.

I asked myself why don't we just modulate at RF levels and use transponders
as digis ?

How does D-STARS fit into the APRS equation ?

Anybody ever played with PulsePositionModulation on APRS ? Planes use it at
1Mb/s

They can send GPS co-ords in 112us

Cheers

Andy
