Roger, The real thing that gets in my craw about JT65 is the 60 second continuous transmissions for each QSO segment. On HF, this could surely be reduced to 30 seconds or less. I've yet to have really weak ones reply that would have needed the long decode period. I understand the need for really weak VHF sigs.
6 or 7 minutes to make a single QSO is excessive on HF. Reducing the periods to 30 seconds would make QSO length more reasonable and reduce QRM chances. 73 de Brian/K3KO --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Roger J.
