PSK mail appears to be similar in user interface to the Winlink 2000 Paclink program that also interfaces with an e-mail program. FNpsk had its own built in, but very basic, mail program. I think you could write templates for it so it was possible to send various kinds of messages.
If we did not have to send all the formatting of a message type, and only sent a special identifier of the format, the text data would be a fraction of the total we would normally have to send compared to a .doc file or even a much more efficient Open Office native .odt file. The main limitation would be the transfer speeds and how well it works under difficult conditions. It is ironic that here we have a mode that works for weaker signals, well below the noise, and we have (had) another mode that worked screamingly fast with a wide bandwidth but needed >10 db S/N and was faster than Pactor 2 and not that far behind Pactor 3, but we don't have something that can adapt to conditions by combining this synergistic power. It has to happen eventually. 73, Rick, KV9U Rein Couperus wrote: >Everybody with an HF trx and a laptop that has a CD drive and a soundcard can >set up a server and connect it to the internet, provided the trx has >reasonable fequency stability >. >We are planning to include HF forwarding capability in both client and server. >The user interface of the client is Evolution (like Outlook (C)Microsoft >Company). >You write the messages in a normal mail client, and then press the send button. > >Can you tell me what FNpsk capability is lacking in pskmail at present?
