All,
It's important to make sure your rigs vox delay is off when working
ALE-400-ARQ. We've managed to cause a few tx/rx change-over collisions while in
QSO by forgetting to turn it off.
Tony -K2MO
;s quite robust and has a pretty good balance between bw, sensitivity
and throughput.
It has a lot of potential as an ARQ chat mode. The semi-duplex - ARQ operation
is certainly something all digi-ops should try.
Thanks for all Patrick!
Tony -K2MO
I had more than just a few hours of operating time to see what the bands
were really doing.
It's unusual 10 meter openings like this that make you wonder how often they go
unnoticed. I'm sure the relentless band-probing by contesters made all the
difference. So much for the lull in the cycle!
Tony -K2MO
Jose,
