Hi John, At the time I was listening to the frequency there were RTTY stations on either side and very close, so did not attempt a connection. Were you using ALE400 or FAE400? My understanding is that FAE is faster than the ALE with plain text due to compression which I don't think is

technically we were using FAE400 mode and FAE2000 modes, in ARQ as opposed to general broadcast (unproto) mode. I agree with you on the 400ARQ mode, and the feature I appreciate most is the ability to send mail to an unattended station, having determined that the unattended station can hear

I believe that the simplest is not reinventing the wheel, and using MultiPSK as a modem, using traditional BBS programs as the mail application. Does anyone find this to be wrong? The store and forward part could mean a *LOT* of work to be done, or actually, re-done... For traditional ham

Hello to all, has compression which can greatly increase speed The compressed alphabet derives from the IZ8BLY MFSK Varicode. The main modifications are a priority given to accented small characters (much used in French, Spanish...). The gain is about 50 % in English. - first sound card ARQ

At 0415Z was not able to connect on 40 meters (too close) but with about 10 watts connected to VE5GPM on 80 meters. I sent some chat text and then tried to send a file but no throughput, even when going to 50 watts. Wondering if something locked up there? I reconnected at about 0430Z and am

When I used to be on another digital group (I think it may have been one of the TAPR lists?), Maiko was able to get certain hardware/firmware to work with his development of JNOS2. Although JNOS is very theoretical to me, I wonder if it could it be set up with the mode of your choice (within
