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 the effort that software developers 
put into their work, just so other Hams can enjoy their hobby more, 
many of the programs for no cost, or small cost.
I don't want to think what you would need to pay, in the commercial 
world for some of these programs.

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

2008-01-07 Thread Rein Couperus
Jack,

yes, pskmail will work with PSK31 as well, in fact it will work with any mode 
that transports 
the complete set of ASCII characters (I am working on incorporating RTTY as 
well).

But you will find PSK63 almost as good as PSK31, and a bit less sensitive to 
frequency stability.

I am sure any of the server ops will open a PSK63 channel for you if you need 
it. We can also 
run modes like DominoEx if you need it.

I know what you mean with the PSION, I used a PSION 3a, and I wrote a CW 
contest keyer and a 
contest log program for it. (Does not work for the 5MX).

73,

Rein Pa0R

2008-01-07 Thread Jack Chomley
Rein, I did finally get your Puppy ISO to work on my laptop, it was 
your latest Ham Puppy version I downloaded today , Fldigi fired up 
ok, with the Tigertronics SL USB interface.
Question...Can PSKmail use PSK31 mode? My reason is that I only have 
a 10 watt ICOM 703 radio, for my portable ops. So..signals are 
not strong, and I have no need for higher data rates of PSK250.
The reason for all this is that I am going on a motorcycle trip in 
South Africa, where there are not many stations, so I will probably 
be communicating to others outside the country, IF there are any 
PSKmail operators I can hear :-)
My reasoning for trying to get around PSKmail was to try and avoid 
carrying a laptop. With the old type TNCs, you can use an AA battery 
powered RS232 terminal to drive them. I have one of these, works 
great on Packet TNCs. Also on Amtor, Pactor and PSK31 with SCS PTC-IIEx TNC

http://www.ciao.co.uk/Psion_Workabout_Mx__5378172

Also the Psion 3MX too

http://www.bioeddie.co.uk/models/psion-series-3mx.htm

With these units, I just use the on board Comms Program.
IF I use my Palm IIIx, I have the "On Line" comms program (now 
discontinued)  from Mark Space in the U.S.
It has macros and a few other features too.
NONE of the above can use soundcard software. The good thing about 
them all is that they run on AA or AAA batteries :-)
