Hi all,
I am not sure where to post this. It has to do with general amateur radio rules, the use of digital voice, and the use of digital data.
I am wondering what the legalities/roadblocks are of using Motorola's ASTRO25 or ASTRO Text messaging and selective calling services. If I were to be experimenting with a few portables, am I allowed to sent text messages between the two radios or send selective calls(I believe this type of data is 9.6kbps C4FM)? Alongside this, how should a radio identify if using data like this. Should the callsign be in the message or should you say it in analog or digital voice? I am trying to look into the whole legality of this and I want to make sure it is allowed before I try anything. I cannot seem to find a concrete answer in the FCC part 97 rules.
Any help is appreciated!
