OK, I've got NBEMS running, and decoding signals on 20M, and I've run 
FLARQ and the file folders appear to be OK.

So, what can I do now?  Does anyone in Europe want to have a play at 
swapping files etc.?

I don't think I'll be dedicating a permanent station for this system, 
but it looks as if it might be interesting to have a play with.

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

Hi Skip,

Just a minor note, some of the Microsoft libraries (dll's) you reference in
the program are older versions. I think you might need to download Visual
Studio SP6B, update the references and recompile? That should stop the The
file being copied is older than the one presently on your system
messages...

SP6 is at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9EF9BF70-DFE1-42A1-A4C8-39718C7E381Ddisplaylang=en

Other than that minor note, well done and I am looking forward to trying it
out!

FWIW I always link using MFC in a static library - this way I never need to 
ship possibly conflicting DLL's.

Downside - program can be larger, upside - less problems with user support 
which can chew up time.

 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/ .
