I have also used ALE/FAE400 since it was developed ... and no VOX.... 2.4 pent 4 with gig of ram...or 1 gig pent3 with 512 ram or 800mhz pent 3 with 512 or 1.5 gig ATOM w/1gig ram.....4 diff. homebrew interfaces some with xformers..some not....Icom IC-718 or Kenwood TS-50 or Kenwood TS450SAT or Kenwood TS-180S....Half-Wave dipoles...160-80-40-30...1/4wave Vert on 30....
Over 6,000 digital(HF) QSO's logged in the last 14 years... from the old HAL RTTY interface to the new soundcard modes... Im not a NCPNG that just got on HF/DigiModes last year...LOL... I have been on some type of "digi mode" for the last 18 years. What I see as a "major" problem.. you may not...thats cool... but W4PGH and myself ran this mode 3 to 5 days a week for over 6 months on 80 and 160.....he is 40 miles from me. The sync issue..is just that. Its not my radio, interface, antenna, computer...or me..LOL Its great ya'll are not having the "issue" too offten. But ...When hams try it out for the first time and it loses sync a few times...they will just switch modes and not look back.
