Andy,
If you are looking at frequencies for your Winmor operation in the auto control
subbands I can suggest some frequencies to avoid since they are the primary
NTS Digital operating frequencies..with Pactor 1, 2, and 3. NTS Digital for the
most part only operates in the auto control subbands

John,
I don't know if your comments are directed to me or are in response to my
comments on NTS Digital, but NTSD has nothing to do with hams at sea. If you
want more information about NTS Digital operations and practices please check
this web site.
A lot of hams have had problems with the RASCAL and the poor support and
commications from the vendor of this product...See Eham reviews.

Just a point... I don't believe the HF automatic sub bands are internationally
recognized.
To my knowledge it is only the FCC in the US that has set up these automatic
control sub bands.

Bonnie,
NTSD is complementary to the traditional NTS structure and interfaces with it
on all the NTS structure levels. It is administered through the NTS structure
at area level by Area Digital Coordinators each reporting to the NTS Area
Chairperson.
NTSD automated stations are one transmitter

I kinda of thought that NTS Digital had been doing this for the past 10 or 15

Sorry,
Can't do anything with a KAM or PK-232 (any version). Pactor II and III are
proprietary modes.
Pactor II and Pactor III are only available on the SCS line of modems
Cheapest one is the PTC-IIex about $900... Check this web site for their
US distributor
Just be careful, the earliest SCS modems didn't have Pactor II or III either.

Just so you are aware. There are some of us who don't think that Winlink
2000 is the answer to our prayers.
Most of NTS Digital is still running Classic Winlink 2.9 which doesn't
offer internet forwarding and relies upon direct forwarding from each

There are other digital automatic users besides the email Winlink 2K
systems you cite. The National Traffic System (certainly a part of ham

of 80 meters for passing traffic thru the NTS Digital system. The FCC

Again,
I emphazise that NTS exclusively operates in the auto control band plan
the actual scenario of QRM from an autocontrolled NTS station is remote.

You are grossly misinformed. The Winlink stations on the frequecies you
list are Winlink 2000 stations handling e mail messages.
NTSD operates almost exclusively in the small automatic control band

There is an active digital system in NTS called NTSD employing Winlink

Many NTS operators keyboard into these NTSD stations but the main

Winlink 2000 has solutions to many of the requirements that you list.
However in all cases until the computer calls
