Hello! Commenting contribution by Take, Igor etc: Instead of overcomplicating protocols, diversity reception shall be considered. Instead of variable bit rate, we can get up to 5 dB by combining repeated frames. We can often see several repetitions of same frame. Each repetition has

When I am sitting in a park or out on a snowmobile trail with my KX3 and my laptop using a GPS for time sync since there’s no cell reception there, anything that relies on the Internet will be basically useless to me. Why would we aim to exclude a growing number of such users like me? Perhaps

Hi all, I was looking in the 1.9.1 user guide for an explanation of why using the 'Hold Tx Freq' should be checked, when I noticed that its not mentioned, but the old 'Lock Tx=Rx" option is! Obviously this was overlooked by everyone, and should be updated for v2.0. 73, Neil, KN3ILZ ---
