Hi Sholto, The fact that you were able to make contacts with ARQ using Signalink is not an indicator that it is good for ARQ. In ALE, with the Signalink, you would absolutely not be transmitting the first group of symbols of each transmission. The Signalink timing just isn't sufficient to do the job. The errors in your transmission may have been corrected by FEC or ARQ. But, your empirical evidence of "success" is more an indicator of the good redundancy and Forward Error Correction of the robust mode, rather than success for the Signalink :) 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA .
