We use MT63 on our wpaNBEMS nets here in Western PA on 3.5835 USB, 1000hz center on the waterfall. Our nets start out on 8/500 Olivia then we transmit a 1000hz MT63 1k long (64 bit) interleave bulletin. We stay on MT63 1k long and then go for comments since we're in the faster mode.
We have been using MT63 2k long on 2m and 70cm FM now for about 5 years. Many of our net participants send and receive messages on fm simplex and over repeater using nothing more than a laptop and hand held (no direct interface). It works amazingly well and will let you send about 1k per minute (repeater timeouts get you right around the 3k mark). We send detailed messages and spreadsheets using NBEMS/FLDIGI and WRAP (checksum) which allows us to transmit a bulletin and have an unlimited number of stations simultaneosly receive and confirm 100%. Other than the local stuff on 80m and VHF/UHF, I've not seen much in the way of DX'ing with MT63. -Dave, KB3FXI www.wpaNBEMS.org --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Thomas F.
