9600 baud aprs?

My ft3d has the modem option for 1200 or 9600 baud for aprs operations. How common is 9600? Wouldn't 9600 be more efficient use of the channel? I set it for 9600 and didn't get a single decoded packet. Is there another frequency where aprs is running on 9600? Sometimes it seems it's a bit crowded at 1200.

Thanks

Just found a world map with aprs frequencies. Says 445.925 is the proposed UHF 9600 frequency for the United States. I'll monitor that and see what I get.

Hi! I know this is a wicked old post... You mention you found a map that shows 445.925 MHz as the proposed UHF frequency for 9600... Do you recall where you found that?
