You are joking, right?
Are you seriously suggesting that Op8 is compatible with the QRSS60
DX window at 137.777?
I am not even sure I want to struggle to decipher Op8 by eye in
amongst genuine QRSS transmissions in the very long-established
QRSS3/10 window at 137.700 +/- 50Hz
Who makes these decisions? They certainly don't seem to have any
regard for established (and widely published) bandplans.
And what happened to Op32 in this new version? It seems to have been
arbitrarily dropped.
The Opera activity on 137 was declining, though I was active daily.
They have just lost me as a user.

Of course it will if you use a DDS or similar, rather than audio
drive.

Or on top of other established modes (which you will not be able to
detect) as you will annoy people.
Sorry, Gary. I know you are only the messenger, but this make me
absolutely furious.
