John, If this modulation is the MIL-STD/FED-STD/STANAG 8PSK waveforms, wouldn't they be at 2400 baud at all times? We can not use baud rates over 300 here in the U.S. on the text digital portions of the bands, but they could possibly be used in the voice/image portions for sending images/fax.
Possibly packets could be received as long as you are not linked and the program can send unconnected packets? What will be extremely helpful is for any experiences you have with data throughput vs S/N and interference. It is still curious to me that the promoters of "ALE" modes do not test these protocols in the voice portions of the bands. Also on 6 meters and up. There has been absolutely no measurements of S/N in real world tests on the amateur frequencies that we have heard thus far. 73, Rick, KV9U John Bradley wrote: > > Tnx fer the note, Howard > > > > Over the next week or so ,we should have VE5GPM up and running 24/7 on > RFSM 8000, not beaconing, but ready to receive calls and transfer files. > > > > VE5TLW and I will be working on learning the software and making a > little noise with same.
