Hello John,
Glad you succes with Txema. Juts a remark:
Pax2 (125 bauds) is a clone of Olivia but with 32 bits
frames (as in Contestia), so there are a short set of characters 64
characters instead of 128. This to double the throughput speed. The
protocol is a mix between Pactor1 and Packet.
>* How many times will PAX repeat a frame before
it gives up? Noticed with Txema that I >would sometimes repeat a frame 3
times before moving on to the next one.
At the present time, the number of retries is fix
and equal to 3. After 3 retries and failure, there is deconnection.

The repeater "presence" has already this
function (to delay the call when something is heard on the frequency not to
disturb a possible QSO). It could be added to the beacon.
>*could this eventually be built into MixW?
The modulation is easy (close to Contestia) and I
communicate it to Nick. The protocol is very complex...
>Would be nice to see MultiPSK go to a bunch of
drop down menus so the screen is not so busy.
It is question of taste. I don't like drop down menus and I like buttons so
as to have all controls always under control (so no need to memorize what it is
inside the menus...).

I'll make sure the repeater is on hi hi.......
it's been interesting over the past few days working with PAX,
I and several others worked DX today over to
Spain, with EA2AFR, Txema, and had good result despite pactor, QSB and
other QRM
on top of us.
couple of questions:
* How many times will PAX repeat a frame before
it gives up? Noticed with Txema that I would sometimes repeat a frame 3 times
before moving on to the next one.
* would it be possible to build a "busy" sensor
into the beaconing funtion so that it would cease beaconing when other
stations came up on freq.
* There appears to be a bug that locks up the
computer every once in awhile, can get out of it by transmitting CQ or simply
using the "tune" function.
*could this eventually be built into MixW? Would
be nice to see MultiPSK go to a bunch of drop down menus so the screen is not
so busy.
tnx fer all the work you have put into
this

Hello to all Pax2 testers,
>VE5MU IS READY TO
REPEAT PAX FRAMES.
A repeater (here VE5MU) can be used. Up two repeaters
(as Packet ones (for
connected QSO) or as APRS ones (for Unproto QSO,
with use of alias)) could
be used but normally a repeater is intended to
retransmit an isolated
station (ship, balloon...). If you are a repeater
you are only aloud to
repeat Pax2 frames. Of course, a repeater
decreases the speed of
transmission but increases the distance of
transmission.
A repeater can be useful but for a first experimentation
it's perhaps a bit
too much no?
In all cases, the Ham in repeater
position can show his presence by using
the button "Presence" to
transmit automatically and periodically that he can
repeat frames (as
"VE5MU IS READY TO REPEAT PAX FRAMES).
>Lowest S/N : - 10 dB
for PAX and - 7 dB for PAX2
But if the signal during the frame
transmission goes below -7 dB and bits
are misunderstood, all the frame
will be rejected...
>How does one LEAVE a message ?
When
you are connected to the Pax2 responder, all your frames (text only of
course) from the moment that you connect to the moment that you
disconnect
will be considered as constituing your message and will
appear on the mail
box of the responder.
So simply type your message
and type the "Carriage return" key to send it
and it will be stored by
the responder.
It is reminded that you can beacon APRS positions +
messages (as in Packet
APRS but in very long distances).
73 and
good
experimentation
Patrick
