Robust PACKET, developed by Spezielle Communications Systeme GmbH & Co. KG (SCS), is an OFDM variant of the amateur PACKET mode specifically engineered for HF operation. This mode utilizes a 500 Hz bandwidth with 60 Hz carrier spacing, employing OFDM with 8 DBPSK or DQPSK carriers. It supports 200 bps using BPSK and 600 bps with DQPSK, with each subcarrier operating at a constant rate of 50 Bd. Robust PACKET leverages the AX-25 frame protocol for data transmission, similar to standard PACKET. Compared to traditional PACKET, Robust PACKET demonstrates enhanced resilience against multipath propagation and fading effects, critical for reliable HF communications. It also exhibits a more efficient spectral footprint, with sidebands extending only to 500 Hz, whereas 300 Bd FSK PACKET can produce sidebands up to 730 Hz. Operational frequencies for Robust PACKET include 3.61 MHz, 7.0473 MHz, 10.1473 MHz, and 14.1033 MHz, with specific regional frequencies also documented. Decoding software options for Robust PACKET include Wavecom W-Code and Wavecom W-Spectra. The mode is primarily supported by SCS's 'Tracker / DSP TNC' hardware.
