More in a bit. Right now here's a couple links. But you know it is not getting traction when you go to a NOS group and find that one with 15 members has 11 messages over a four year period of time! and the other with 29 members has 25 messages over a 4 year period of time! The basic JNOS

With a Tech license you can send 2M or 440 APRS messages. You can also send APRS messages via an Internet connection to an APRS gateway station. APRS messages will likely be easy to send to your remote station and the remote station can be automatically set-up to send a response. If you

There is no other comparable system (hardware/software combination) to Pactor because no other mode is as adaptable and gets through under fairly poor conditions (which are very common on HF) but can still ramp up to reasonably good speeds when the conditions are excellent if you have P2 or P3.
