Hi All,
I was thinking about the differences between using the digital modes on HF andKnob and Dial modes, and I came up with this comparison. Basically ft8 and digital modes take morework on the setup end and are easy to operate and "knob and dial"radios have little setup and the most time is spent directing the operation.Both take the same amount of effort but are inverse. My limited math abilities express then relationship as- Dm(S10τ+Oτ)=K Kd(Sτ+O10τ)=K Where Dm=Digital Mode Kd=Knoband Dial radios S= Setup O=Operating τ= Time K= Total effort Revisionswelcome----- Doug Millar K6JEY Dr.Doug Millar EdD.
