This goes to part of my question and it is exciting to envision smart filters. Of course a cell phone is only handling same modes absent many of the huge variables present on HF Ham bands so the challenge is considerably more complex. I am certain that Hams and associated business interests are

While I have used MFSK16 a lot in the past, it seems that Olivia has supplanted it, even though Olivia is often a much wider signal and requires fairly robust settings to equal MFSK16 under difficult conditions. But from what I see on the print, a number of digitally active hams feel that

It's my understanding that DominoEX is supposed to replace DominoF. I can't say about the others - certainly there are more modes out there than people are using. And then some modes I would call archaic but not obsolete. Such as Baudot RTTY - there actually seems to be an increasing number of

You might let the folks know what the RF bandwidth is of that cell phone channel that allows 20 conversations to share it. It will probably be tough to get 20 phone conversations at once on 80/75 meters let alone the other bands. The major problem with this on HF is that cell phones don't talk

Rick, Hams like to hang on to old technology, some like to experiment, so if the mode is available in the software package, why delete it? Have asked other contacts if they want to try one of the less used modes, and made some discovery as to how they work. Jerry - K0HZI --- In

Right you are Jerry. I have been using a TTY machine for over 25 years. The only problem I have had is some software and most TNC are using 200Hz shift and some of the operators seem to think they must be on USB. At 05:51 PM 1/30/06, you wrote: Rick, Hams like to hang on to old technology, some

Oh, sorry ... ;-) I couldn't read the labels on the equipment and wondered what was what and how they worked together. Also wondered which modes you ran and if you also had a laptop tied in. I love the idea of a 160M - 5.6GHz mobile/portable system that is truely all-mode (getting there

Over the past 6 months or so, I have used most of these modes on hf, and have found that Olivia runs best, followed by MFSK. I'm looking forward to the possible inclusion of DominoEX on Mix W, which might make it more effective than the stand-alone software available now. The same goes
