FCC corrects error in 'Omnibus' Report And OrderThe FCC has released an Erratum that corrects one error in the recent Report and Order (R&O) in WT Docket 04-140 -- the so-called 'omnibus' Amateur Radio proceeding -- that inadvertently limited J2D emissions to an occupied bandwidth of 500 Hz. J2D emissions are data sent by modulating an SSB transmitter. Had it been left to stand, the error would have rendered illegal below 30 MHz PACTOR III at full capability as well as Olivia and MT63 when operated at bandwidths greater than 500 Hz bandwidth, 1200 baud packet, Q15X25 and Clover 2000. The FCC Erratum revises 97.3(c)(2) of the Amateur Service rules going into effect December 15 to read: Data, Telemetry, telecommand and computer communications emissions having (i) designators with A, C, D, F, G, H, J or R as the first symbol, 1 as the second symbol, and D as the third symbol; (ii) emission J2D; and (iii) emissions A1C, F1C, F2C, J2C, and J3C having an occupied bandwidth of 500 Hz or less when transmitted on an amateur service frequency below 30 MHz. Only a digital code of a type specifically authorized in this part may be transmitted. The Erratum is available on the FCC Web site, The FCC incorporated some unrelated editorial revisions in the version
of the R&O that appeared November 15 in the Federal Register,
