Hi Tony, Thanks for making the recording of aircraft reflections. Yes, we also see and hear aircraft reflections mixed with atmospheric disturbances all the time. The aircraft reflections sound similar to what you hear on the beacon, and you can identify those because they vary in frequency

Hello John, You must normally start the Instal.exe to instal Multipsk (which will create and fill the Maps sub-directory). You can also copy the Multipsk Maps sub-directory from another Multipsk implantation. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: jgmags2000 jgmags2...@yahoo.com To:

I'd say the 3rd generation has been available for several years now. Both Kenwood and ICOM manufacture VHF and UHF mobiles, handhelds and repeaters for the new standard. The key advantage is its spectrum efficiency. It supports both voice and data but uses 6.25 kHz channel spacing. D-STAR

I think you missed a generation or two. First generation - CW (binary states plus time) Second generation - RTTY and FAX Third generation - AX.25 packet Fourth generation - what the OP called the first generation etc... 73 de Dave, NF2G

I can't think back this far. What came first - Packer or Amtor (ARQ mode to boot) . At 12:03 PM 4/19/2010, you wrote: If the first generation of digital was PACKET-IRLQ-Echolink-APRS (generation Zero was CW and RTTY), then the second generation was D-Star. D-Star brought everything together

A perhaps narrow outsider's opinion: There is potential here for both good and for wreaking havoc with fellow users of VHF/UHF amateur bands given a paradigm shift into a G3 digital era. Improving upon packet's abilities could be a very good thing- particularly for those involved in EmComm. But

That was why someone suggested that 220 be looked at rather than 440. Both 2m and 440 have heavy usage with analog repeaters plus SSB/CW (and satellite). Thus 220, or 900 Mhz, would be far better for a third generation digital (trunked) network. After all it is going to mean a new radio
