[Elecraft] K3 Digital Voice Mode - our future?

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Digital tends to be either perfect armchair copy, or fairly unusable.

It's going to depend a whole lot on how it's encoded, the data rate, and 
how much error detection and correction is used.

Bump up the data rate, do some forward error correction and it's likely 
to be fairly robust.  Some of the methods used by NASA to encode signals 
from deep space probes are incredibly robust.
