you are right I do like multipsk and particularly ALE400. Works well in to the noise .
I don't find it hard to use, but I have spent some time using the software and am not intimidated by the user interface. When I try to encourage others to try it out , their first reaction is that the software is too complex.. and they are thrown off by the interface. I would be reluctant to suggest this mode for emcomm use since the same operators would also be overcome by the interface, with the added stressors of whatever the incident is. Probably be OK for the first couple of operating periods but beyond that less experienced operators would be thrown into the mix. I have suggested to Patrick in the past that he does an emcomm version of multipsk.. PSK,MFSK, ALE 400 and 141, and maybe Olivia. Not to remove these from the software but just take all the other options off the user interface.. hide the buttons of you wish. At the time, he was not interested. John VE5MU
