Hi Patrick, That would not be SELCAL. The land mobile radio profession in the U.S. would call that a form of ANI, Automatic Number Identification, i.e. that data squeal you hear on the radios on the bad police reality shows that is prepended to each transmission. Thanks again for all your

Is it possible to compress a file and lose even one bit during the transfer and still have something usable on the receiving end when you uncompress? Normally, you must use ARQ to insure perfect copy. Even MT63 or Olivia can take a hit every so often. 73, Rick, KV9U Simon (HB9DRV) wrote:

Another thing to consider is the many USB stick utilities. They take a bootable CD ISO and convert it into a bootable USB image. You can still store files on it as well. Very handy for trying stuff out, and usually much faster to boot. Assumes your PC will boot from USB via bios. If not use one

Andy, I often need to get the data off of a dead computer and move it to the new one. The best way to do in my experience is simply to attach the old drive as a slave to the new one and start draggin' and droppin'. Once the old HDD detects in your new PC, go to the appropriate folders.
