Re: [digitalradio] Any point in sending Wrap files via ALE 400?

With WRAP, you can compress the file and reduce the transmission time 
significantly in many cases.

Andy,

 

I sent a Wrap file via ALE400 today. Is that just a waste of time 
since ALE 400 already has error correction ?




It would seem redundant if the intent was to make sure the file was 
received without error.



Is there are value to sending Wrap files via ALE 400?



Assuming that Wrap worked with Multipsk as it does with Fldigi, 
someone could use it to monitor an ALE-400 file transfer and tell if 
it came through without errors. All speculation on my part Andy.



I guess they could then be forwaded to Fldigi users.



Makes sense if the intent is to forward the files using a non-arq mode 
later on. I was under the impression that Wrap was exclusive to 
Fldigi, but the website says it can be used with any digital modem 
program. Guess that includes Multipsk?


Very interesting Andy...

Tony, we should play around with this when we get time.  the person i sent a
WRAP file to did not know what to do with it, so I am still not sure if it
really worked.
