I am picking up a PAX2 signal right now on 14.111 + 1100 Hz. It appears to be a German data file discussing SSTV and making certain points. Perhaps like a brag file? Maybe they are experimenting with throughput tests? This is the first time I have been able to print PAX2 and was able to print many lines of data. The signal strength is very weak here and not moving the S meter (Butternut Ground mounted vertical which is not too bad for DX). It is even printed when I could barely hear the signal. It does not seem to be missing much, if any, data. Packet could never do this. I did get a Pactor 2 station to come over the top for a while and that did stop any data from coming through. Of course, I am not the connected station, so that is understandable.
One thing I just discovered is that I can not cut and paste from the Multipsk screen or else I could show you the data here. Some additional comments on PAX2: Since it seems to take ~ 12 seconds for a transmission plus ARQ ACK and the throughput seems about 64 characters, so the the throughput is around 300+ characters per minute (50 wpm). Even though it can not handle the full ASCII character set, I can see where this might be useful for traffic handling because traffic that should then go into a CW net can not have case sensitive data. 73, Rick, KV9U Andrew O'Brien wrote: >Can anyone decode the signal on 14111 ?
