Re: [digitalradio] Re: PSKmail
Flarq is based on pskmail but is not completely compatible.

The code is complicated enough to need deep involvement to understand. It's not possible to quick-hack it into C. We need the help of the author ! There is a C implementation of flARQ. It uses gtk UI toolkit and there is a port of gtk to Windows. I already tried to compile it on Windows and connect it to PocketDigi, but there is some work needed, as threading and communication between flARQ and flDigi are not directly portable to Windows. AFAIK pskmail slightly extends protocol, that flARQ implements. 73, Vojtech OK1IAK -- http://pa0r.blogspirit.com Announce your digital presence via our Interactive Sked Page at http://www.obriensweb.com/drsked/drsked.php View the DRCC numbers database at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/database Yahoo!

Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS available for beta testing
Kevin, I think you can trust this setup.exe. It is a Microsoft-generated installation program that only adds a few Microsoft DLL's to your system and installs the program files we have created. I'd go ahead and make an exception for this particular setup.exe. Skip KH6TY ZoneAlarm Security Suite has blocked setup.exe from creating a new process. If you trust setup.exe and believe it requires a process to be created, then you may want to change the Trust Level of this program. It is also possible that the attempt to create a process was malicious in nature. In that case, you should not change the Trust Level so that your system will continue to be protected. This is the first time that this has occurred on a great number of Setup exe's Consequently I am reluctant to proceed further. Any help appreciated Kevin VK5OA
Re: [digitalradio] Re: Comments on the JT65A and Olivia contests
I had one contact with AA6YQ on Olivia 500/8. There were actually two MFSK16 Q's going on, next to each and in between some of the Olivia stations. At least one was a regular digitalradio poster:) I find MFSK16 to be much more tolerable than Olivia which also gives me a queasy sort of feeling. Nothing will probably ever be like Clover II which has to be about the most pleasant sounding digital mode. Nothing like raucous Pactor which is one of the worst! But when you mentioned Red Buttons and being stressed from music, I immediately assumed this would have to be his performance in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?. Not a recommended movie for an uplifting time however. I like movies with reasonably happy endings. Maybe something like The Game. 73, Rick, KV9U Dave Bernstein wrote: 15 QSOs in about 2 hours of operating, just under half with European stations, all on 20m.

MFSK-16 definitely deserves its own band segment, preferably with padded soundproof walls. Too bad Pactor III doesn't sound like that; Winlink would have had their own private band segment years ago. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Great news Skip and Dave,. Thanks from Norway :) 73 de LA5VNA Steinar Dave AA6YQ skrev: Nice work, Skip! Congrats!!! 73, Dave, AA6YQ -Original Message- *From:* digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of *kh6ty *Sent:* Tuesday, January 01, 2008 9:24 PM *To:* digitalradio@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* [digitalradio] NBEMS available for beta testing The NBEMS development team is pleased to announce the availability of a Windows NBEMS software suite for beta testing. The NarrowBand Emergency Messaging System (NBEMS) for Windows is a suite of software programs designed for point-to-point, fast, error-free, emergency messaging up to or over 100 miles distant, and takes up a very minimum of space on the ham bands, leaving more space for all other ham activites. The system is designed primarily for use on the two-meter band, or on HF with NVIS antennas, where there is a minimum of fading (QSB) to slow down message transfers. Two meters has the advantage that distances long enough to span disaster areas of up to 100 miles can be dependably covered with small, portable antennas. In hilly regions, if two meters is not workable over the distances required, NVIS antennas on HF can be employed instead, but are not nearly as portable. The system uses the computer soundcard as the modem and, other than a simple interface connection between the computer and transceiver, no additional hardware is needed. Composing and sending emergency messages on NBEMS utilizes the same Outlook Express, Outlook, or Windows Mail, email program used for Internet email, and is no more difficult than sending an email over the Internet. Messages just go over the radio instead, when the Internet, phone service, or repeater system is not locally reachable in an emergency. PSK63, PSK125, or PSK250 is used to modulate either two-meter SSB, or HF SSB transmitters, using horizontally polarized antennas for greatest range. Two meters is unique in that the propagation is more constant than on the lower bands from 6 meters on down, range is greater, and absorption less, than on the lowest UHF band, 70 cm, so much wider modes, that handle QSB by continuing to work far below the noise level, are not needed. This point-to-point system does not utilize repeaters, or email robots, for message forwarding. All forwarding is always done by stations manned by live operators on both ends, who can comfirm that a frequency is clear locally, negotiate a QSY if necessary to avoid causing interference, and confirm delivery of a message by the intended recipient. The system depends upon a multitude of radio amateurs providing the traditional public service function, similar to the way they always have, and gives more hams a chance to help out with emergency communications without requiring a large hardware investment. The software can also be used for daily casual communications on PSK31, PSK63, RTTY, or MFSK16 and is capable of sending flawless, high resolution, passport photo-sized color images, in less than 10 minutes over any path that can sustain PSK250 without excessive repeats. All the members on this digitalradio reflector are invited to participate in the beta test of the NBEMS. The NBEMS suite can be downloaded for beta testing from: http://w1hkj.com/NBEMS/ http://w1hkj.com/NBEMS/ . Please give the system a try and send comments and bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:KH6TY%40comcast.net. Happy New Year to you all! The NBEMS Development Team Skip, KH6TY Dave, W1HKJ

Hi Russ, Sorry I have to rain on the parade, but I am now in South Carolina, and no longer in Hawaii. :-( However, what is significant is that even with band conditions degrading rapidly, you managed to send me a message using Flarq, and it was received flawlessly with only one repeated block. I was running 10 watts to a 20m inverted Vee in my attic (on 30m!) to your 5 watts with a Butternut in the side yard. Band was going out, but because we were using ARQ, the message came through without an error, even though the raw text on VBdigi had errors. If I had a 30m antenna, I would have been much stronger.
