Because it was occurring right on published winlink channels. Could some of them been kb2kb, sure, some of them could have been. However, even then, there weren't that many kb2kb qso's on pactor taking place in the auto sub-bands. Why do you think winlink has spread their stations out? Without

Jim you really can't go by that. I had 4 KB2KB QSO's last evening right on 7077.4 as you put it a published winlink channels. One of the QSO's was with a member of this list K2MO. In fact it's been weeks since my WinLink system has been used. Everything has been KB2KB. Pactor KB2KB is far from

Remember, this was a couple of years ago. Plus, it really doesn't matter if it is kb2kb interfering with a pmbo session or two pmbo sessions. There was obviously no busy detection nor did the interfering operators listen first. It was still pactor on pactor interference and that is the point.

From what the Winlink 2000 owners have said in the past, they want to control at least two frequencies per band in order to maximize access to their scanning automatic stations. There is no question that they consider the Winlink 2000 system to be much more important than contacts between two

Guys, Transmitting SSB in the text digital sub band is illegal in the U.S. All parts of our bands except for 60 meters permit digital operation of varying kinds. If you follow the rules you must transmit SSB in the voice/image portions of the bands. Same thing with digital voice or digital

Have I ever transmitted SSB in the CW or DIGITAL subbands? Of course not, Demetre; that would be a violation of the rules governing amateur radio operation here. How does your question relate to the discussion? 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Demetre SV1UY

First, Demetre, my focus has been on unattended stations that rely on remote initiators to determine whether or not the frequency is clear. This has nothing to do with the bandwidth of the protocol employed. It would be just as unacceptable in CW as it is in PSK, RTTY, or Pactor. Second, none

Demetre, Here in the U.S. there are no wide digital sub bands. In fact, in the text digital sub bands there do not seem to be any legal limits as to the band width permitted at this time. Most radio amateurs would consider a voice SSB bandwidth mode to be about as wide as would be acceptable.

Don't believe everything you hear. A couple of years ago when I was doing packet work, I listened to winlink a lot. What I heard convinced me that clients did not listen and that the hidden transmitter was not only a problem with other stations, but winlink stations too. You can't believe how
