Dom:

SDX is a method to implement the linear transponder.  Your old mode B 
equipment will work just fine.  SSB, CW,  etc. will all work just fine.  
If SDX lives up to our expectations,  it will be the best of these 
HELAPS based transponders we have flown.

Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly
the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there.
The only difference is that there is no cat." - Einstein
