Same here.  We did extensive tests with 4 different
radios over 200 feet separation using lab attenuators
and a very long run of RG58 to eliminate any chance
of leakage.  The diffrence was 7 dB.  So it takes
50W at 9600 to equal 10W at 1200 baud.  Or
about half the range.

And this does not inlude any differences due to multipath
in the mobile environment...   I see no advantages at
all to 9600 for APRS (except to use the 9600 baud
satellite)...  Bob

Per Bob King, K7OFT, posted on the NWAPRS list just today:

"UHF APRS SYSTEM IN PUGET SOUND AREA IS ON 440.875 MHz Simplex 9600
Baud."

That's in the Seattle, WA, area.  He also mentioned that it is
important to adjust the deviation with a good service monitor to
3kHz.


Bob Donnell, KD7NM, mentioned this:

"With several 9600 baud projects under our belts over the years,
here in the Seattle area, we've found that +/- 2.75-3.00 kHz
deviation to be the target range, when used with filters designed to
work with a +/- 5 kHz deviation FM environment."
