This is where a combination of Patrick's RSID idea (also in fldigi and DM780
5.0 and PocketDigi) and SDR will help.

SoftRock and later other SDR radios. Instead of monitoring ~3kHz as at present

I let my license expire twenty years or so ago but recently took the test for
a new license and passed. I'll be getting it (an Extra) in a few weeks. I got

A good HF radio +6m is the 100W Kenwood TS-480SAT - you can pick this up
second-hand. It is a very good performer and an excellent HF radio for
digital in general. Also the IC-703+ which is 10W and no mean machine.
As for VHF / UHF I'll let others make suggestions.

Say, John, you also use Pactor 2 and 3 which are always 100 baud PSK
modes. Do you find that these modes work through the ionospheric
conditions when sound card modes, even those with similar modes do not?

Avoid the Icom IC-718 if you want to do push to talk by CAT command. Icom chose
not to put PTT by CAT in the command word set. There are other methods of doin
PTT but CAT is by far the most elegant.

Pactor and Pactor 2 can work at 200 baud. Buit it requires little

Hi,
I'm working on at least a million lines of code in various Ham projects -
the easiest way for me to add a new mode is if I have the source. Patrick
writes in Pascal, myself in C++.
To be honest I see Olivia and MT63 as the most reliable modes out there.
Simon Brown, HB9DRV
Hello John and all,
I have suggested to Patrick in the past that he does an emcomm version of
multipsk.. PSK,MFSK, ALE 400 and 141, and maybe Olivia. Not to remove these
from the software but just take all the other options off the user interface..

When the C++ code is available I'll take a look for sure :)
I understand not shipping your code if it's mixed up elsewhere.

Because of this phenomenon, when I purchased a new rig, I looked for
one that could have AGC
When I use MultiPSK, I make sure the mic input is high (say 30% - 50%)
then use MultiPSK's waterfall AGC which often shows the weaker signals
as well as the loud one. I also use the manual notch on the rig to help out.

I haven't Andy. I think it would be put to better use as an ARQ chat mode.

I run my 7000 with 150Hz filter width for PSK31 and if that's not small enough
I'll put one or both manual notches into play to narrow things further.
I can only define three filters and I have to do that at the rig, there is no

Andy,
The FAE modes are not really all that new. I had promoted it back in
July 2007 on one of the eham forums when I asked if other public service
operators planned to use this protocol. There have been very few hams
interested in such a mode.
My personal preference is to refer to it as FAE,

This mode used as ALE is much superior to PC-ALE since you can determine if
the path is there by sounding, and then do a connect to pass
traffic using the same software. The other station can be unattended in
this process.
ALE141 also works well in exactly the same manner, no difference in

It's important to make sure your rigs vox delay is off when working

Sorry I didn't have time to stop and chat. I copied your QSO with John, VE5MU,
