Please continue the discussion here, or start a new group. The
censorship and agenda that takes place on the hflink group will do more
to harm the modes future in the amateur environment than anything else.

If you have questions, I'll help if I can, if not, several of the
developers are on the APRS yahoo group, and very responsive.

Wow, Brian, there's a lot of very good information in your post, my
problem is that there is so much good fact, that it would be easy, too
easy, to accept it all at face value. In my mind, I have a few issues,
and I'll address them in line, though I really do think that parts your
post should
Like I said, it was a silly thought. You two gentlemen are obviously
right, and I and the other 8 stations I'm printing on my waterfall

The AGC controls in my rig seem next to worthless as well. I usually
run a 706MkIIG, and it is notorious for pumping when the front end gets
overloaded. It also isn't able to really set the AGC off, there are 2
settings, 'fast' and 'something slower'. Digital modes are the only

use that - also pls upload to LOTW

I know I started this thread with the idea of dividing contest points by
power output, I did choose the word silly in the subject intentionally,

filtering over into common usage.

Are there any codecs or sound card based modems that are inter operable

Somehow it seems that the spirit of amateur radio that is supposed to
advance the radio art, has left the ham shack, and been replaced by a
fear of anything that might challenge the status quo.

I don't believe anyone with the power to change the system is 'working

the Winlink 2000 PMBO would cease to function if they implemented

I really don't know if I am failing to understand the problem, or
underestimating the complexity of the solution, but I'd like to propose
at least a dialog here of what it would take to implement a busy

Would it be too much to ask to request that these rule changing

informative and of interest to all subscribers, by pointing out the new

You've got it right. To do digital communications via software and a
computer sound card, you need three basic connections (regardless of
what radio you are using, though I suppose one of those could be
optional). Setting aside the desirability to in some way isolate your

I really can't say off the top of my head, I've not done SSTV, and while psk31 is cool, it's so much slower than regular 1200 baud vhf packet, that I've never tried it over vhf fm either. With FM, you pretty much either have a signal or you don't, maybe on SSB psk31 might be cool for
