[App_rpt-users] Speaking of CW IDs

[Mike/W5JR]

20wpm applies to Part 97 only.

Part 90.425(b)(2) states "The Morse code transmission rate shall be maintained between 20 and 25 words per minute."

Part 95.119(d) states "The station identification must be transmitted in: (1) Voice in the English language; or (2) International Morse code telegraphy." - note no words per minute discussed. 

I've heard many GMRS repeaters (Part 95) rip through at 30+ wpm. 

So, if the change is made and recompiled, will the CW still sound OK or more like the early PROM style MSF5000, i.e, the dot/dash ratio falls apart at a faster speed?

tnx

And why would I want faster than 20 wpm you ask, my HUB nodes are only send "ID" to web transceivers, and I would like them faster. I have observed that at 20 wpm, there is a bit of jitter and faster may not be possible. (An ID I built years ago had a limit on how fast it could go before the code elements were overrun by timing)
