Ian, PSK packet acts as FSK packet. So you can use it to send APRS positions (possibly from UIVIEW or from Multipsk) or in connected transmission. BPSK63 seems a bit slow for connected transmission, however it is possible.
Pax/Pax2 derives from Packet with a modulation close to Contestia. The number of digipeaters is limited to 2. 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: "mikenetbot" <mikenet...@comcast.net> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 12:55 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: PSK-PACKET anyone? - Description > Has anyone tried keyboard-to-keyboard connected BPSK63?
