Introduction to Packet Radio:

Packet radio is a form of digital communication used in amateur radio to transmit data by dividing it into short bursts or packets. This technique allows for efficient use of the radio spectrum, error detection and correction, and easy sharing of a single frequency among multiple users. It's commonly used for wireless networks, emergency communication, and digital modes of amateur radio. Packet radio technology paved the way for modern digital communication methods and protocols.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ In late 2023, the FCC removed the baud rate limit on data transmissions. The FCC's decision to remove these outdated restrictions and replace them with a bandwidth limitation was made to incentivize innovation and experimentation in the amateur radio bands. This move is expected to provide licensees with greater flexibility to use modern digital emissions, potentially opening up new possibilities in the field of amateur radio. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
