I think Patrick may be on to something here, ALE400 with ARQ FAE worked very well in my QSO on 30M with Sholto KE7HPV. ALE without a wide bandwidth !
GREETINGS TO ANDY FROM SHOLTO IN REPUBLIC, WA[23h51m29s] [AMD] [from KE7HPV ] [to K3UK ] (his BER=30 + SINAD= 7) ok we got a connect there Andy. copy me ok? the FAE mode is a lot easier than the AMD messages I am running around 30W here Andy. Seems good so far. have u had many qso's in it yet? you can do most of the stuff u need in the 'aux functions' window. that's the way i use to call you. some[ back again Andy. The ARQ was struggling there. Lots of QSB today yes i am Andy. without error too! our path is very marginal Andy. Better say 73 and CUL ok? K3UK DE KE7HPV SK
