Just to add my two cents. I do have a SL-1 that is used only for MT63 and HELL. Having said that I have found no problem with it. Of course they are not ARQ modes. I do use ARQ modes a lot but also have the hardware to operate it. John, W0JAB

I agree with Skip on this Bonnie, the Signalink interface is a very good digital interface and to write it off as a P.O.S is misinformed, disingenuous, just plain wrong and potentially damaging to a small US ham radio oriented company who manufacture quality products. Just to reiterate I have u

Bluntly, you are ignoring the reality of trends in computer hardware. Further, my suggestion does not impact any protocol. The protocols require no changes. What could be changed is the way a protocol __implementation__ signals that it ready to transmit. A simple check box on the screen that def

Hello to all, About "slow" asynchronous ARQ modes as ARQ FAE, Pax, Pax2 and even Packet there is no much problem to have several dozens of ms in delay. This because due to sound card buffers, the obligation to work even with slow computers, and due to slow modulation, it is introduced big margi

Sorry to harp on about this but ALE400 has a baud rate of 50 (20ms length) and the VOX PTT is 28ms plus allowing for say a 12ms delay from a modern rig that is only 40ms total delay on transmit, just 2 "symbols". From MultiPSK's help file: In "ALE400" it is transmitted 28 symbols, alternately
