yes capturing means tuning and switching to proper speed yes one of the 2 stations must capture the others pilot tone to tune in both soundcards have to be tuned / calculated properly for the slower modes if the other station is very far in the noise and you don´t capture the pilot it not easy to tune in but when you tuned in in good conditions and the condition fall down you can switch to slower mode and finish the qso... once tuned in the other has only to switch to slower speed not change the tuned frequency .... only the speed hope that helps a bit dg9bfc sigi

Made a half dozen qsos and have all kinds of questions - hopefully someone else here has used the program before. Lots of activity on the digitalradio sked page. Capuring a "pilot" signal automatically matches the mode and speed to the originating station? Yes .. No ? If the receiving station captures the cqing station's "pilot" signal, the cqing station does not need to capture the receiving. Is that correct? I'm thinking that if both capture, one station will constantly be off ... not sure ... I found out real quick you must be absolutely sure that both stations are locked before gertting into longer exchanges. I would be great to get a discussion going on this mode. Lots of new guys checking out the new mode. If you haven't tried - see the lastest QRZ article. Software is a free download and simple. Bob - K3MQ
