know right now, but sounds tempting. I feel that a lot of the old packet legacy programs have a lot to offer if the classic TNC is replaced for a better modem. Maybe it would be interesting to identify other interfacing software, i.e., KISS-WA8DED, 6PACK-KISS, etc 73, Jose, CO2JA --- John

heard them up on 7103. In Canada we have a newly determined, voluntary emergency digital frequency of 7096.0 This would be for all digital modes With the US rules, what modes could be used on that particular frequency?? John VER5MU From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com

so manual operation with widths greater than 500hz are OK below 7100? In other words if we are running 141A on 7096 , this would be OK, but automatic sounding on this frequency would not be permitted in the US? These new emergency frequencies were set up in Canada to comply with the IARU
