I'm not sure why, but on-air tests with ALE-400 seem to be a bit more robust

I had more than just a few hours of operating time to see what the bands

It has a lot of potential as an ARQ chat mode. The semi-duplex - ARQ operation

Multipsk has the RSID button up front while Fldigi requires two steps to
