Hello Tony, The initial standard (for ALE and ALE400) frequency is 1625 Hz, but you can choose another frequency in ALE400 (in ALE (141A) it is better not to change this initial frequency). 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: Tony To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent:

Hello Sholto and all, The minimum S/N is -11.5 dB (-13 dB with many repetitions). ARQ FAE is an asynchronous system (synchronous systems as Pactor are not possible under Windows, as it is impossible to control the timing of each sample (but it was possible under DOS)). So to lose temporary

John, Yes, in the big majority of QSOs, it is rare to find a long period of deep QSB. However... But to leave a message to an ARQ FAE beacon (connection-transmission-disconnection), this problem does not appear, except if the message carries a relatively big file, which will take much time to

Hello Andy, For ALE, there is soft which name is ALE^STAT which is connected to an ALE soft (PC ALE, MARS ALE or Multipsk) through a local TCP/IP loop and automatically manages and forwards the sounding ALE information to a HFLINK page (Channel zero). With this principle, as RS ID and Call ID

Trip, Its not a unique problem. KT4WO Well it does seem to be unique problem because we haven't heard from anyone else with major sync issues (yet). Your comments will hopefully, bring them out of the woodwork. In my experience and in the experience of others, ALE-400 sync issues happen

Patrick, The initial standard (for ALE and ALE400) frequency is 1625 Hz I'm glad the ALE-400 frequency is fixed at 1625Hz. There's less confusion; you only need to let the other party know the VFO dial frequency ; ) Tony -K2MO - Original Message - From: Patrick Lindecker

Has anyone tried keyboard-to-keyboard connected BPSK63? (I assume that it is connected and not UI, as we are talking about the FRACK option). Also, am I correct that PAX/PAX2 will run in connected mode? For some reason I thought they were UI-only, but now I cannot tell. I'm interested in

Ian, PSK packet acts as FSK packet. So you can use it to send APRS positions (possibly from UIVIEW or from Multipsk) or in connected transmission. BPSK63 seems a bit slow for connected transmission, however it is possible. Pax/Pax2 derives from Packet with a modulation close to Contestia. The
