It depends, if the server has RxID on the mode does not have to be specific, unless the RSID twiddle is too weak for the server to react. Also think about using a slower mode until you are connected... I often use MFSK16 to connect, with PSK500 on the download link (PSK250 in US). MFSK16 is a lot more sensitive than PSK250...
Ping uses short frames, which have the best chance of getting through... It shows you if a server can hear you. It also depends if the server has been upgraded to version 1.0.0, older versions did not support multimode properly, they are fixed on PSK250. So, get in touch with the sysops! 73, Rein PA0R >Ok, thank I'll chane it to 250....If I ping at 500 and the servers are >on 250 will they come back to me or do I have to be in mode specific? >thanks, Alan > > >------------------------------------ > >http://www.obriensweb.com/digispotter.html >Chat, Skeds, and "spots" all in one (resize to suit)Yahoo!
