Hi all Pactorologists! I now have my band scanning function running (I think!) for Pactor connects. The controller talks to my Icom 718 to scan 10 frequencies in 5 bands, the scan delay for each frequency is 3 seconds. My tones are Mark 1600 Space 1400 with USB mode on all frequencies. Key

[digitalradio] Its all getting out of hand.........

I think these discussions about ALE who, PSK this, who hates Pactor etc are starting to destroy this group. We all have our favourite ideas/opinions etc. IF people feel strongly about regulatory or operational problems in the hobby, then write to your Ham Radio representatives, ARRL etc or FCC.

Re: [digitalradio] Robust Packet-Radio (RPR)

Rick, Well, its just another mode, to add to the pile! You get RPR with the SCS DSP Tracker, APRS is also using it and the DSP Tracker will send BOTH mode APRS frames out, that is a standard 300 baud HF Packet data frame, THEN the next one out is an RPR frame, alternating. This is so any RP

Re: [digitalradio] A weekend of NBEMS: Some questions. now PSKmail!

Quite simply, I just see better range and performance using low power radios, on narrower bands. DominoEx would be fine :-) With all this mode advancement looking for MORE speed? Why? I get the impression some people would like to stream Hi Res Video over HF :-) I have to say I really appreciate

[digitalradio] For the HF Packet Baggers out there :-)

The statistics say it all :-) HF Packet on APRS works fine. Have a look at today's logs. The radio only puts out 8 watts. I had good results with this setup all through 2007, so its no fluke. It was standard 300 baud HF Packet, Robust Packet was not used. http://www.radiotelemetry.net/html/rad
