Although I would agree that part of the attraction of new modes is the
novelty of operating them, most of us try out the new modes is to see
how well they actually perform under real world conditions and find out
which ones we prefer for operation. Of course, this assumes there is
No, because I can.
When Peter (G3PLX)) came out with Amtor there
was a printed circuit board one could buy to get on
this new mode for (if I recall) around $500 USD.
You see Rich I and others was operating Amtor
when 99% of the hams world wide was wondering
what that chirp chirp noise was. We had
OK, John,
That explains it. Sort of like folks who like to enjoy playing with
boatanchor rigs.
When I was a teen, I could not afford even the average technology of the
time and had to settle for really low end hardware back in the early
1960's. For example, a Drake 2B receive was pretty much

I re-read my post and see that I did not make myself clear with that
sentence you refer to! What I meant was that the soundcard modes were
either free or cheap.. sorry about that. I have owned

John,
Is the reason for wanting to operate AMTOR just for the novelty of an
old mode? I could understand using it if it was possible to do it as a
sound card mode at a level comparable to hardware modems.
When Pactor came into use in the late 1980's, AMTOR use was drastically
curtailed since
