Correct Skip, except one can use templates to communicate within the picture. The picture with some text added. It is slow, 73 seconds for each picture but probably about the same time for the average PSK31 exchange of text. Andy On Jan 25, 2008 8:02 PM, kh6ty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

When I look at MP73-N in the MMSSTV waterfall while TX button is pressed, I see that the vast majority of the spectrum display is within 500 Hz (1900 to 2300)but I count 16 brief burst where a ripple is noted to extend out to about 2600 Hz. Would this not count as wider than 500 Hz ? Andy
