Hi Ralph; You and I are working on similar ideas, we are currently testing 141A for doing the same and have it runninig from one of our local Emergency Operations Centres (EOC) We have tried RFSM 2400 and it is in our opinion not quite as robust as 141A, which at the same time is not quite as

Hi Ralph, Are there any particular frequencies where you operate RFSM2400? I've recently downloaded it for use with my new soundcard interface, but didn't know where to go. I get the impression that these digital modes work even when you can't hear, so knowing the frequency is important. ZL1/2/4
