John, A little tongue-in-cheek there perhaps?
Needless to say, when you are communicating with someone else, the one thing you want the most is to be able to receive their transmission correctly. At least I would expect most folks do. To me it is the most important characteristic, because if I can not communicate with them, nothing else matters. Then the next issue for me would be speed of TX. And then how much bandwidth is being used by the mode. Ideally, the narrowest possible mode using spectrum efficient technique is the ideal. Finally, if you want to send more than just single case characters, the character set can sometimes be important as well as the ability to send 8 bit ASCII or something close to it. To sum it up "if you can't print them, you can't work them." 73, Rick, KV9U John Becker wrote: >At 06:06 PM 7/19/2006, Rick, KV9U in part wrote: > > >>At this time, when you look at throughput speed, bandwidth taken, >>character set, and robustness, >> >> > > >Sorry I missed what robustness has to do with communication. >Can someone fill me in. > > > > > > > > > > > > >Need a Digital mode QSO?
