Simon,
I hope to have this in DM780 by the end of June 2009. I think it should be
enabled by default when calling CQ on exotic modes - I need to think about
this, anyway I'm sure my user will tell me what to do :)
Sounds great. The CQ method seems to be the logical way to go.
Tony -K2MO
Thanks Tony for posting this information.
My pleasure John. The Reed Solomon ID seems to be very sensitive; more so than
most of the chat modes being used.
Nick and Simon may add RSID to Mixw / DM780 in the future (thanks guys). It
seems to work very well with Fldigi and Multipsk.
Fine

Tony -K2MO
and Fldigi have this feature.
Tony -K2MO
Rick,
Multipsk has the RSID button up front while Fldigi requires two steps to
turn it off. Not bad once you've done it a few times.
A CQ/RSID macro should work well. There would be no need to turn it on or
off then.

I've been using Mixw to send / receive MFSK16 pictures for some time now and
recently found that Multipsk, DM780 and Fldigi are capable of receiving pics.
Not sure if they are capable of sending though. Can anyone shed some light on
this?
Tony -K2MO

Thanks for taking the time to send the MFSK picture docs. I happened to have
your program running with Mixw and was surprised when the picture window popped

We would need a wrapper around Olivia or PSK that would send
signal-quality responses so the sender could adjust its speed.
I would imagine the turnover time would play a part in how well that would
work.

Hello Tony and all,
Here is an old proposal of Mike Pastorcich
I think the use of RS ID and detection is important. The issue still
remains...will others try it?
I hope so Andy. It certainly works well...
Tony -K2MO
Sholto,
I think the answer will prove to be very much a yes when it is available in
DM780.
I believe Simon is working on the RSID. It does have video ID which works
reasonably well. Not nearly as sensitive though.

I was very surprised to see so many different chat modes in use on 20 meters

whatever it is, lets keep it going.

The RS ID is also present on PocketDigi by Vojtech (OK1IAK)
That is neat Patrick. I bet there are quite a few portable enthusiasts who
use Pocket Digi. The tiny pocket PC and a rig like the FT-817 would make for
a fine mini-portable station.
