Digital signal processing is 40 year old technology at DARPA and first appeared on the amateur radio scene 20 years ago. We certainly don't want AMSAT to ignore this technology as it can reduce hardware complexity, size and power requirements and therefore decrease costs and increase reliability.

John. I would not suggest to ignore it. But AMSAT is not DARPA and cannot in my view afford to fly technology just for technologies sake
